Supper Camp

We have been eating like kings + queens around here!! Well, actually, Mazen is the king, so maybe we are princes and princesses?! Haha. He has been in charge of dinners this week because he’s been at Supper Camp! Remember when he attended a single enrichment day over Christmas break? (OMG go and watch that video interview of him again! So cute! He has grown up so much!)

The camp went from 9-3 each day, and the kids prepared a meal for their families. Matt and I have been trading off, so I haven’t gotten to try them all, but I took the time to photograph one meal from the week. Mazen LOVES to be in charge, and I got the linens out so he could set the table and make his dinner extra special.

I thought about turning this into a “fork goes on the left” table setting lesson, but I decided it was best just to let him do what he wanted to do.

He would have turned on the stove to heat up our meal himself if I had let him! Instead, I did the heating and plating and then he carried everything out and called us when it was time to sit down.

All five meals are plant-based and vegetarian, and on the menu this night was a lovely vegetable stir-fry with brown rice and a crunchy Asian cabbage slaw to go with it. Both were delicious!! The teachers share the recipes with us parents at the end of the week so we can make them again.

I have never been successful getting Mazen to eat rice, but he ate the rice!!! He ate everything, actually, although he didn’t have huge portions.

T and I had seconds!

There is dessert every night too! We enjoyed a tropical mango pudding.

Two thumbs up — one for such a fun camp and one for a delicious meal!

    I can’t believe he doesn’t like rice! It’s my absolute favourite… more than fries… if I had to pick just one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be plain, white rice. (dang, so Asian of me, haha)

    Occasional poster here. Forks go where? Sheesh, even this adult male has no clue. I think I need that camp!!

    He is so handsome and such a winning smile. I’ve been following you on this blog since well before he was born and have seen such a change over the last half year or so, how grown up he has gotten. (And so much more to look forward to)

    He must just absolutely draw people in with that friendly smile and expression. As a parent, I know there are moments…but wow. Enjoy these moments 🙂

    What a fantastic camp concept! I love the idea of getting kids excited about cooking and teaching them to be self-sufficient (well, eventually…like when they’re old enough to use the stove) in the kitchen.

    When I was little we learned table setting with “The silverware had a fight. The knife and the spoon were right, so the fork left.” It was a super easy way to remember and I’ve used it to teach my kids too:)

    Very cute. Those dishes sound wonderful. What a great thing for him to learn.

    I learned it as “the knife protects the spoon from the fork” to remember knife and spoon together. It’s also a reminder that the sharp edge of knife points toward fork to “protect” spoon. Does that make sense?

    What a lovely idea for a summer camp for kids!!! I’m far from having kids but you can bet your meals that i will DEF be hunting down a similar type of summer camp in the future wherever I have my kids haha!! Sooooo worth the money!

    I’m curious how they teach the toddlers though– like do they have the kids chop the vegetables and season everything? How do they control that??

      I am not quite sure, but I think they give the younger ones the easiest tasks. I think you have to be 3+ or maybe even 4 for this particular week
