KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Lake County middle and high school students participated in a two-day Explore Culinary Camp held at Kelseyville High School on Monday, July 7, and Tuesday, July 8, with Kelseyville High’s Culinary Arts instructor Tami Cramer.

Twenty-three students learned a variety of skills which included knife skills, baking and proper cleanup and maintenance of the kitchen.  

Students worked in small team kitchens as they learned to make chocolate cupcakes and frosting from scratch utilizing measuring utensils and electric mixers in addition to the ovens and other tools.

On day two students prepared their own lunch – pizza! They began the morning by preparing the dough and allowing it to rise, then later adding the sauce and the toppings of their choice before popping it into the oven.

The Explore Culinary Camp was offered as part of the Career Technical Education series of summer workshops designed by the Lake County Office of Education Career & College Readiness Department and funded by Mendocino College.

Each high school was offered the opportunity and funding to host similar workshops. The final workshop of the summer is scheduled for July 21-23 at Clear Lake High and will focus on digital media.

The Digital Career Academy will be taught by instructor Adam Evans and is offered free of charge to all incoming seventh through 12th graders.
