Kristi Mezick, the owner of Pure Imagination Studio and leader of the Crazy Cooks Camp, asked Oliver how the mixing was coming.
"It's almost done," Oliver said to Mezick. "It looks interesting, but it smells delicious."
After a few more minutes, Oliver handed the bowl to Mezick.
"Brooke, you did a great job," Mezick said.
Mezick went on to divide the mixture and distribute it to the other campers at the Out-of-Door Academy's Crazy Cooks Camp July 13.
Although potstickers were on the menu for July 13, campers loved learning how to make various recipes, including turkey burgers, salad in a jar, linguine carbonara and broccoli cheddar soup.
"I like how this camp forces you make it from scratch," said Georgia Kennedy, a rising third grader. "It's cool learning the steps."
Norah Jawitz, a rising second grader, said her favorite recipe of the week was the broccoli cheddar soup because she liked chopping all the ingredients for the soup.
Stassi Bizzaro, a rising third grader, said her favorite part of camp was learning the recipes so she could take them home and enjoy them with her family.
