OUR APPROACH:

Through hands-on classes, we empower students to master exciting recipes as they experience new foods and utilize mathematics, geography and science in real-world applications. We have a passion for teaching youth to enjoy the multi-faceted celebration of food. A low 6-to-1 student-teacher ratio ensures students work in small groups and get individual attention. The highlight of this comprehensive week is our Thursday Graduation Dinner when students present their accomplishments to their own guests by preparing and serving a beautiful buffet.

Did you know through the process of cooking we hone our skills in reading, math, science, problem solving, socialization, negotiation, task completion, and presentation? The kitchen is an excellent connection point for people to have great conversation, work together, and learn about each other while accomplishing a common goal.

How exciting to know that learning to cook and working together in the kitchen contributes to the development of so many essential life skills!

OUR CAMP ADVENTURE THEMES:
Cooking Fundamentals
Baking & Pastry Arts
Healthy Meal Choices

Culinary camp is five fun-filled days for children ages 7 - 18. During this hands-on week we will explore various cooking techniques, play games, and learn etiquette and (if time permits) take a field trip. We also enjoy having a cook-off contest where each child creates at home a special recipe that they bring in, share & compete for prizes. The grand finale of the week is our Iron Chef Competition on Friday, were two teams compete to see who will rein supreme (just like on TV). And the great part is that you the parents get to be the judges of all the wonderfully delicious creations.
