Each school s facilities team handles meal preparation, cleaning, and maintenance. Camps take place at well-renowned boarding schools with state-of-the-art facilities. How do you screen MasterChef Camp staff? All our teams meet state, federal, and ACA requirements for summer camp employment. Each staff member must pass a background check and complete a highly-selective recruiting and training process. The Culinary team is hired from prestigious cooking schools, with experience in teaching cooking skills to children. The Culinary Director is responsible for designing the culinary curriculum, which details all cooking activities and recipe. He/she also supervises the team of culinary instructors, ensuring the quality of each camper s experience. Activities and Environment What s included in a typical day at Camp MasterChef? Each day at Camp MasterChef is organized into three different blocks of daily activities. Cooking lessons Our culinary curriculum covers everything from the basics to the latest cooking techniques. The classes are divided into small groups according to age, with a maximum of 15 campers per group. Each day, we focus on a new concept. We start with a short theoretical introduction, followed by a practical lesson. Our acclaimed professional culinary instructors teach classic and innovative techniques to make healthy, interesting dishes. During Camp MasterChef, campers take a hands-on role in planning and preparing gourmet family meals. Team culinary competitions In the spirit of MasterChef, each team competes in a series of daily challenges and culinary competitions. On Day One, campers break out into teams. They stay with the same team for the camp. Free time and sports We understand the importance of exercise, fitness, and a balanced diet. 11

Each day includes team sports and swimming. Every evening, our staff organizes a theme party for campers. Kids who sign up for the two-week session will take a field trip to visit local farmers and producers. Does my child need previous knowledge of cooking to attend Camp MasterChef? Not at all. If your child is new to cooking, our goal is that they leave Camp MasterChef with a passion for cooking and tools for a healthy lifestyle. Classes are organized based on age and designed to help students progress at their own pace. We ll teach your child how to prepare a variety of full-course meals from scratch. Transportation Where and when do I drop off my child? Campers are scheduled to arrive on Sundays between 2 PM-4 PM. When you arrive, you ll meet your child s counselor and tour the facilities.

Camp ends on Saturday with the Closing Ceremony at 11 AM. After the ceremony, you ll have a chance to taste the appetizers that campers have prepared for you. Then you can pick up your luggage and we ll say goodbye til next year! Basic rules What are the Camp MasterChef rules? Behavior at Camp MasterChef must align with the core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. When campers and staff respect these values, everyone has more fun. All campers and parents must review and sign the Camper Code of Conduct before camp. Here are some of the general requirements from the Camper Code of Conduct. Behavior on the buses and vans to and from Camp MasterChef Camp MasterChef staff members monitor camper behavior on the bus and in camp vans. Specific rules will be announced prior to each trip. Appropriate behavior is necessary for the safety of everyone on board misbehavior distracts the drivers. Campers who violate bus rules will be issued a written reprimand, and the Camp Director will call their parents. General Behavior at Camp MasterChef The Camp MasterChef staff will review the Code of Conduct with all campers on Day One. Appropriate behavior is necessary for everyone to have a safe and enjoyable experience at camp. Among other things, bullying of any form will not be tolerated and will be dealt with quickly and seriously. Camp MasterChef is a co-ed camp. Most of the time, boys and girls will be together. There are certain times where boys and girls will need to be with their own cabin groups. Dining Hall Behavior Healthy eating in a pleasant atmosphere is necessary for everyone to have a safe and enjoyable experience. Each meal will be conducted with decorum and good manners. Once the tables have been cleared, cheers and other celebrations may begin. Bedtime Getting enough rest is essential for staying healthy at camp. After the nightly theme party, it s time to go to sleep. Theft Theft will not be tolerated. Please turn in any lost items that you find to a staff member, so they can be returned to their owner. Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drugs Camp MasterChef is a drug-free environment. Campers who possess, consume, or are under the influence of drugs will be removed from camp. This includes alcohol, tobacco, and any drug paraphernalia. Parents will be called and the camper will be sent home. Any extra travel expenses will be billed to parents and all camp fees will be forfeited. 12

Are electronics such as cell phones, laptops, tablets, and video games allowed? The goal of Camp MasterChef is to focus on the culinary experience and be present in the moment. This presence is best achieved in the absence of connected devices. We are an electronic free camp. No smartphones or devices with Internet capability are allowed at Camp MasterChef. This includes cell phones, computers, Kindles/eReaders, laptops, ipads, mini ipads, ipods, itouches, Game Boys, etc. We make an exception for cell phones, which may be used at dedicated times to call home on Wednesday and Sunday.

If you need to contact your child urgently, we will provide a camp phone number on the day you arrive. What does my child need to bring to camp? Campers need comfortable clothes for cooking, sport clothes and shoes for outdoor activities, and warm clothes for the evening. Despite being summer, nights are often cool. We recommend bringing some warm clothing and raincoat. One of the theme parties is a gala evening, so we recommend bringing something more elegant for that special night. We strongly recommend checking our suggested packing list on the website. We provide all cooking tools. We ask that campers bring two aprons, along with a notebook and pen to take notes. We also provide 2 Camp MasterChef aprons for competitions. In the one week sessions, we do not provide laundry service, so we ask campers to bring enough clothes for the duration of their stay. In two-week sessions, there will be laundry service on Saturday (we recommend not leaving delicate clothes to wash, since we are not responsible for the possible flaws may arise during washing and drying). Nutrition What will my child eat? As professional chefs and instructors, we believe in the importance of a balanced diet. We prepare a healthy menu for each day. We take the utmost care to accommodate allergies and food intolerances. When you fill out the registration form, please pay special attention to the section on food intolerances. In an effort to respond to the needs of many campers, as well as to ensure the safest environment possible, we are a peanut free and tree-nut free camp. We do not serve any products that contain these ingredients and we ask that you do not send your children any nut products during their travels to camp.

If your child needs any medications at camp, you will need to provide this information on the Medical Authorization Form, included as part of registration. Our camps are less than a 15-minute ambulance ride to the nearest hospital. We have clear action protocols in case of accidents or severe illness.
