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.

What will campers do?
Campers will attend weekly two-hour class sessions over the course of four weeks. Students begin their learning in the garden and expand their knowledge with hands-on kitchen nutritional recipes.
Fall 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 Fall.
