After-school and Day Camps
Edible Education Camps
The Edible Schoolyard Kern County’s (ESYKC) after-school and day camp programs are an opportunity for students from our community to experience our edible education programs. Camps are a way for students who don’t attend one of our partner schools to experience the thrill of learning in our hands-on garden and kitchen classrooms. Camp sessions are offered throughout the year.
Our camps combine ESYKC’s hands-on learning environment in garden and kitchen classrooms with an unmatched educational experience that integrates food cultivation, nutrition and edible education.
Register Your Child for Summer Camp
Registration opens April 16th at 9 a.m. for children entering grades second through sixth for our Summer Camps.
What will campers do?
Campers will attend a one-week summer camp at the Buena Vista Edible Schoolyard. They will begin their learning in the garden and expand their knowledge with hands-on kitchen nutritional recipes.
Summer Camp consists of hands-on garden and kitchen learning that helps students cultivate nutritional awareness of the food they eat.
Allow your child to experience an unmatched educational experience with us this Summer.
