If your children have a passion for cooking or love to help you prepare meals in the kitchen, then perhaps a cooking camp is the perfect summer camp for them. Culinary camp is a great choice for kids who not only have a passion for food but also for those who just want to learn more. Cooking camps will encourage a child's creativity and expression through the use of new skills and tools that will eventually allow them to master great dishes. Children in cooking camps will learn how to make soups, salads, appetizers, entrees and desserts, all in a variety of international cooking styles. Many culinary camps culminate with an Iron Chef type of competition at the end of the program

Learning Skills: Children will learn about exotic ingredients and spices, food safety and preparation, knife skills, recipe building and myriad cooking techniques. Mise en place, julienne, chiffonade and braise are just some of the cooking terms and techniques that campers will learn about.

Counselor Certification: Many cooking camps employ chefs or students from culinary institutes to be the counselors, so that the campers learn firsthand from trained professionals.

Levels of Expertise: Campers of all cooking levels are encouraged to attend. From beginners to advanced cooks, everybody will learn something new.
