Cooking camp takes place Tuesday through Thursday for 3 hours. Each camper comes home with a ready-to-cook dinner entrée and dessert for 5 people each night! Follow simple cooking directions and dinner is done! Bonus: All entrees are freezable.
Each day features different projects/ and recipes. Topics covered include:
The campers will make and enjoy a snack and prepare a dinner entrée (that serves 5) and a sweet treat to bring home, often a side dish too.
At the end of each session, all campers take home a cookbook.
Kids must be between ages 7 - 11 to participate. 12 year olds are welcome (and may be asked to assist!) if they are comfortable with other campers being in the session who are age 7+.
Note: No peanut, tree nut, or shellfish ingredients will be used in cooking projects. Gluten and dairy will be used in projects.
2023 Cooking Main Course Entrees:
Is your family vegetarian? No problem! Tell us at registration and we'll have a vegetarian substitute for day 2 & 3!
We recommend that you add a salad at home to round out the entree, side and dessert that come home each night! All entrees can be frozen and cooked later.
Think cookies, crisps, crumbles, and more! The kids will be mixing up a storm.
In addition to the 3 projects each day the campers also make & enjoy a snack. They will bring home their projects to bake and enjoy or freeze to enjoy later. Many projects can be frozen before baking OR after baking.
Projects may include items such as:
All recipes will be coming home in a cookbook.
Kids must be between ages 7 - 11 to participate. 12 year olds are welcome (and may be asked to assist!) if they are comfortable with other campers being in the session who are age 7+.
No tree nuts or peanuts are used in cooking or baking camp. Gluten and dairy ingredients are used in projects so campers with those food allergies are regrettably discouraged from attending for their safety.
We aspire to inspire kids to have an increased interest in food and cooking or baking while in a safe, fun, and confidence-building environment. We teach basic techniques and have kids do all the measuring, mixing and they create their final products.
This camp is "hands on!" This is not kids watching our leaders make the dishes. Some ingredients may be prepped in advance for them to use in their projects (i.e. pre-diced onions or marinara sauce). They may use items like a pizza cutter for slicing or a plastic knife for frosting a cupcake.
What's almost certain is that the campers will have fun and leave with a huge stack of delicious food that they created along with big proud smiles on their faces!
If you are looking for an experience where your child learns "Cordon Bleu" techniques, masters formal knife skills, or gets "standing at the stove" experience, then we are NOT the camp for you.
Cooking Camp: $279 per Camper
Baking Camp: $259 per Camper
Occasionally partial sessions are available (1-2 days rather than 3 if camp is not sold out), $95/day. Availability tbd.
*Food costs have escalated significantly (and our campers make A LOT of food!). If costs continue to rise camp rates may increase, so register now to lock in your pricing!
If 2 or more siblings attend the same session, we will give your family a $15 voucher to redeem for meals, dips, cookies, soups etc. from the HomeCooked grab & go cases. Vouchers will be distributed the week your campers attend. Max 2, $15 vouchers per family and they must be redeemed by 12/15/23.
Also-- Almost all projects can be frozen, so for families with siblings attending you can eat one project and freeze the others.
