DCDSB Cooking Camp: A Recipe for Learning and Teamwork

At DCDSB’s Cooking Camp, students learn more than just how to cook! Students build independence, teamwork and numeracy skills in a fun, safe kitchen environment. Students work together to plan, measure, follow recipes and prepare snacks and lunch while practicing fractions, measurement and conversions.

Last week, campers made delicious crepes, taco cups and cupcakes while taking ownership of every step of the process. From gathering ingredients and measuring on their own to assigning roles, communicating with teammates, washing dishes and putting everything away, students were in charge of making the kitchen run smoothly.
