School Break Camps
“TEACHING KIDS HOW TO FEED THEMSELVES AND HOW TO LIVE IN A
COMMUNITY RESPONSIBLY IS THE CENTER OF AN EDUCATION.”
― ALICE WATERS
We are offering a variety of engaging, hands-on cooking camps!
We've got some fun and meaningful hands-on curriculum for kids and teens. If you've got a Jr. Chef seeking engaging, nourishing, and delicious camp activities you're in the right place. We teach real-world, skills-based culinary techniques that will inspire your child to eat well for life (and clean up too)!
The kitchen is a safe and fun place to explore, ask questions, and learn. Food connects the family and the community and cooking for others shows that we care. We are excited to offer a fun and safe environment for your kids to express themselves confidently, learn new skills, and explore with all of their senses in the kitchen. An experience they will never forget.
"The chefs have put together a lovely and thoughtful menu and day-by-day cookbook with great tips, conversation, food science, and culinary education throughout each session.
My son is super engaged with the preparation and cooking process, proud of what he's making, and enjoying seeing the familiar faces. Brava!! So excellent!"

"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience my daughter had last week at camp! She’s been interested in cooking for a while but this was her first official class and she is totally hooked. She asked if she could do it every week! Alicia, you were fantastic! As I popped in and out of the kitchen throughout the week I realized what a rage of experience you were dealing which could not have been easy. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm! My daughter felt extremely proud of herself after each day and couldn’t wait to have all of us try her delicious creations. Thanks for such a positive experience."
