The kids at the summer camp by Chef Mike’s Catering were busy during the week that began on July 24, and they had an entire buffet to show for it.

The foods laid out for parents across multiple tables on the last day of camp, July 28, included pretzels, pie, quiche and lasagna.

Chef Mike’s Catering owner Mike Donnerstag said the goal of the camp is to provide a culinary experience for kids that is hands-on and encourages creativity. He said while each day has a set itinerary, staff are open to suggestions for different foods.

“We let them go crazy in here,” he said. “Anything they want to do we try to make happen.”

Kids acquire life skills such as working with a knife, grilling, sautéing, baking, food presentation and more.

It’s an experience that keeps bringing past attendees back each year, said Donnerstag.

“It’s the best camp in the world,” said 12-year-old Asher Woods
