Aliment’terre culinary camps
INAF’s Aliment’terre culinary camps are the only day camps offered by an institution of higher education to take such a comprehensive approach to cooking, food and the agri-food sector. A true adventure around the plate, the nutritional, cultural, environmental and sustainable food dimensions are all addressed thanks to the expertise of the members of our institute.
Accompanied by an experienced chef, young apprentice chefs are treated to a variety of activities, from vegetable gardening to cooking to a mini food processing plant. They also take advantage of the workshops to prepare their own lunches and snacks.
Our programming is renewed every year to enhance our range of activities and give youngsters a different experience every year.
