What does a typical day look like at CGI Kosher Culinary Camp
Everything a great
summer should feel like.
Campers will immerse themselves in the world of cooking, learning various culinary skills and techniques to create a diverse array of delicious dishes and treats. From baking to cooking savory dishes, fun foods and desserts as well as Shabbat favorites and flavors from around the world, our campers gain hands-on experience in the kitchen.
The campers take home their culinary masterpieces to share with family and friends. At the end of the session they receive a ‘cookbook’ with all the recipes made in camp for them to make again throughout the year. Campers enjoy showcasing their creations and the skills they've acquired during camp. It's not just about cooking; it's about creating lasting memories through the joy of preparing and sharing food.
Epic Trips and Swimming
Our day is balanced for the utmost enjoyment for the campers. Understanding that young chefs get tired, we add the perfect flavor to the overall camp experience with incredible trips and swimming!
Sports & Activities
Between the kitchen and the trips, campers play, move, and let loose. A full camp experience — not just cooking.
Jewish Pride
Challah on Friday. Jewish stories woven into every recipe. Culture and tradition built right into the fun.

| Our camp is not just about culinary skills; it's about creating unforgettable memories and friendships that last a lifetime and fosters a sense of community and camaraderie. |
| Join us for a summer filled with culinary delights, laughter, and exploration in a nurturing and inclusive setting. Let your child discover the joy of cooking while making cherished memories at our Kosher Culinary Camp! |
