Roanoke high school students are getting the opportunity to learn the ways of a chef this week at the inaugural Culinary Arts Boot Camp, being conducted by the Al Pollard Culinary Arts Program at Virginia Western Community College. The weeklong camp runs the afternoons of July 10 through 14 at the Claude Moore Education Complex at 109 Henry St. N.W.
A collaborative effort between Virginia Western, Roanoke City Public Schools and The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center brought together the instruction and resources needed to create this opportunity, which is free to participants.
