Avid4 Adventure Camps

Avid4 Adventure Camps includes outdoor cooking activities where kids cook outside on a camp stove at summer camp. The program teaches 3-4 year-olds how to cook outside on a camp stove, including creating a meal in the natural elements. Specific activities include making 2 Bean Chili on a camp stove, chopping bell peppers, sweet potatoes, and cherry tomatoes, stirring food on a camp stove, adding seasonings by pinch-ful, grating cheese, and ripping up cilantro leaves into little pieces. Cooking outside is described as tapping into an entirely different part of the brain than learning a new summer sport and offering positive risk taking, using a simple outdoor recipe idea of 2 Bean Chili made on a camp stove. Equipment used for these activities includes a large pot, camp stove, mixing spoon, grater if cheese is in block form, and knives and a cutting board.
