Your child will learn to cook like an Iron Chef in this fun, hands on, and interactive camp! This is the ultimate camp experience and the perfect place to learn cooking skills while stirring-up creativity! Did you know Kids who learn to cook are healthier, happier, more confident, and a great help at home? In a world filled with fast processed food, learning to cook is a vital skill for any child. We teach children how to cook and bake whole foods from scratch. Our Kids classes are taught by area Chefs in our 3,000-square-foot, fully equipped, and state-of-the-art instructional facility where your child will experience new foods and preparation techniques, learn valuable life skills, and hone cooking abilities in a fun and safe learning environment. You will love watching your “young chef” grow with confidence and knowledge while creating amazing foods at home!
This camp teaches culinary basics and provides lots of hands-on cooking so your kids can develop the confidence they need to get creative in the kitchen. The young chefs will learn and practice a variety of culinary skills, including chopping, measuring, mixing, and baking. We will also discuss the different types of kitchen tools and their uses.
