Culinary & Creative Summer Camp - Petals & Pastry by Flying Starlings Inc®

Petals & Pastry is a custom-created, boutique summer camp experience designed exclusively by Flying Starlings Inc®, blending farm-based culinary lessons, seasonal harvesting, and fine crafts in a small, carefully supervised group setting on our private, spray-free flower farm. The program features unique and elegant recipes, wholesome play, and therapeutic art.

Culinary recipes are made with gluten-free ingredients. Children learn about standard kitchen equipment and wonderous crafting tools, as well as proper food safety. They also experience the art of creating elegantly plated, delicate, and beautiful edible creations. Old-fashioned skills are introduced through hands-on leatherworking, woodworking, wood carving, and wool and natural fiber art.

We love fun and laughter — happiness is part of our brand! However, we do ask parents to ensure their child is able to follow instructions when using sharp tools or working near kitchen and craft equipment.
