2026 Kids Summer Camps
Hands-on culinary camps designed to build confidence, creativity, and real kitchen skills in a fun and welcoming environment.
Ages 8-18
Age-specific camps for beginners, confident cooks, and teens ready for bigger challenges.
Individual Stations
Campers cook at their own fully equipped cooktop and prep station.
5-day camps
Morning, afternoon, and 4-hour boot camp options are available.
For Every Skill Level
Campers eat what they make and often have leftovers to share at home.
What makes these camps special?
These camps blend learning, creativity, and summer fun. Kids do the cooking themselves with chef guidance, which means they practice the skills and enjoy the confidence that comes with making a full meal.
No group cooking here.
Every camper learns each step, not just one small part of the recipe.
Great for beginners and returning campers.
Choose Level 1, Level 2, Baking Fundamentals, Around the World, or a Culinary Boot Camp.
Hands-on from start to finish.
Campers chop, mix, saute, bake, taste, and plate their own food.

From One of Our Camp Families
Had an amazing 2 weeks of kids culinary camps. So many new flavors tried and complex dishes made. The details were all so perfectly executed - from the set up, to the variety of recipes, to the timing of the music (the Eye of the Tiger) on competition day!! Thank you Chef Ramon for such an overwhelming positive experience!! Lucky to have found a place that builds upon the youth’s passion for cooking!! Everything I was looking for!
