Looking for a fun, immersive and educational multi-skill summer camp?

In summer 2022, Falcone Institute launched its week-long Culinary Camp of hands-on learning led by Chef Debbie Kornberg in her beautiful professional kitchen. You may have seen Chef Debbie sharing her delicious recipes on KUSI News! Spice It Up with Deb: A Live Cooking Experience.

Falcone Institute's Speech-Language Pathologist, Sierra Titone, along with our Psychoeducational Coaches (and cooking enthusiasts) co-facilitate the sessions.

Chefs-in-Training develop their social pragmatics and executive functioning skills along with their kitchen skills and confidence, learning how to:

*** Understand and follow a recipe ***
*** Prepare complete nutritious meals and desserts ***
*** Safely use kitchen tools and appliances ***
*** Collaborate toward task/goal completion ***

Every session wraps up with participants sitting down to enjoy their creations. During Culinary Camp 2023 we added a parents/family dinner on Thursday afternoon/evening, expanding the kids’ skill set to include table setting, flower arranging, serving, dining conversation and clean-up! This is a highlight of the week and allows our campers to demonstrate their newly-developed skills for their families and expanding their executive functioning and social skills.

Culinary Campers receive a cookbook, apron, and cooking gadgets to take home and use in their own kitchens. Don't just take our word for it - each summer,
our participants responded with a resounding "YES!" when asked if they would participate again.

Culinary Camp is open to tweens/teens ages 9 through 16. No previous cooking experience required.
