'Master Chef' Camp Coming to Local Area

NEW MILFORD, CT --- MasterChef is coming to Kent in the form of a culinary camp at Kent School, in Kent, this summer.

MasterChef and MasterChef Junior are shows on Fox TV shows that blend culinary challenges and inspirational stories. The show's producers have partnered with Campus Cerdanya to create Camp MasterChef. Launched 2014 in Spain, these one- and two-week themed summer camps are debuting stateside this June in suburban Atlanta, Georgia and in Kent.

The TV shows' producers, Endemol Shine, are touting the camp as an "immersive culinary experience," designed for kids and teens ages 8-16. Campers will have the chance to meet, mingle, get hands-on tips from and cook alongside the series' celebrity chefs. Programming will include special competitions, hands-on cooking lessons, outdoor sports activities, interactive challenges and more. The camps will be held at Kent from June 17 through August 24.

Endemol Shine Group companies are also responsible for Big Brother, Fear Factor, Ink Master, Swamp People, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta, among other shows.
