🍬 Candy Company Day Camp! 🍬

We're excited to offer another fun, hands-on summer learning opportunity for youth in grades 4–12!

At Candy Company Day Camp, participants will spend the day learning what it takes to create and sell a candy product. From making candy and learning food safety practices to exploring marketing, packaging, and entrepreneurship, they'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the many steps involved in running a food-based business.

This camp is perfect for youth who enjoy being creative, working with food, learning new skills, or just want to try something different. Along the way, they'll build problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills while having plenty of fun (and yes, making some delicious candy too!).

⏰ 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
