Let the culinary extravaganza begin! Pali’s California Cooking Camp provides the premier opportunity for campers to roast, bake, steam and sauté their way to the top with some of the greatest culinary recipes! Under the instruction of our executive chef and cooking experts, you will soon learn that the only limitation to your gourmet creations is your own imagination.
