Celebrity chef provides hands-on cooking lesson

What do you get when you combine one celebrity chef, 11 enthusiastic Port Jervis Middle School cooks, and homemade maple syrup? Ask any of the Middle School students who spent the day recently at the YMCA Camp in Hugenot with celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson. They'll tell you it's a recipe for a fun and informative segment on Fox 5 Good Day New York.

The Middle School Cooking Club members were featured on a recent Good Day New York segment in which they helped chef Marcus Samuelsson of Manhattan's Aquavit create a signature recipe using the YMCA camp's maple syrup.

Bottles of the locally-made maple syrup can be purchased at the YMCA. A bottle of the camp's syrup is also are available to those who make a $100 donation to the YMCA Strong Kids campaign, which raises money to provide scholarships to families to help them send their kids to sleep-away camp this summer. New York YMCA Camp raises money through the Strong Kids Campaign to ensure that no one is turned away from YMCA programs and services due to an inability to pay.
