Kids Kitchen Camps

Dive into the world of cooking, baking, and most importantly, eating! Campers will learn safety, measuring, and the importance of trying new things by appreciating different styles of main courses and desserts you may not always find at home. This isn’t your typical cooking class; creativity is a must as well as a strong desire to learn about the world beyond! Campers work in collaborative groups and take home their delicious efforts at the end of the day.

KIDS KITCHEN EXECUTIVE CHEFS

Campers will gain a broad understanding of traditional ingredients and recipes using in-season foods while learning how to prepare meals properly in an industrial kitchen.

Recipes are different each week and offer a wide variety of flavors and treats that even the pickiest pallet may enjoy!

Notes for all Kids Kitchen Camps:

  • Campers will swim each day and need to pack a swimsuit and towel. Campers need to pack a lunch and water bottle. Closed toed shoes are a must in the kitchen.
  • If your camper has a dietary restriction, please contact the office to discuss further. Please note not all dietary needs can be met due to a shared cooking space and ingredients; cross contamination is likely.
  • During downtime, while recipes are in the oven, campers will experience a mixture of activities from swimming, playground time, trivia games, and more!
  • Recipes are different each week, so there is always something new to learn!
