Green Camp Master Chef

Are you intrigued by plant-based cooking and excited to produce healthy, delicious meals right from the garden?

Our Green Camp Masterchef offers an enriching and immersive plant-based culinary experience with opportunities for campers to fully experience a garden to table journey, permaculture workshop, hands-on cooking lessons (traditional and international dishes), enjoying outdoor adventure activities, and a deep dive into our connection to foods.

The program is filled with creativity, teamwork and new cultural experiences. Campers learn how to communicate and collaborate within a team setting while assembling healthy recipes inspired by traditional and infused cuisines from all over the world.
