Little Foodie Science Camp—June 15-19, 2026
Roll out the aprons and fire up the ovens for a fun-filled foodie-themed exploration inside our test kitchen and shiny manufacturing facility. Our young food scientist’s cohort will explore specific food groups and the science involved in the production and processing of food recipes and products. Campers ages 9 -13 will work with various ingredients, product formulations and processes used by the food industry, while having the opportunity to evaluate, make —and of course—devour their creations. 

Little Foodie Science Camp will:

  • Explore the wonders of food science through sensory, nutrition, recipe development and testing and hands-on cooking and baking.
  • Provide a safe space for all campers.
  • Foster new friendships through interactive team building and STEM education through the lens of food.

Camp will be hosted on The Ohio State University Campus in the Parker Food Science Building located at 2015 Fyffe Rd, Columbus, OH 43210 June 15-19, 2026.
