A program designed to inspire and teach your young home cooks, our Kids in the Kitchen cooking classes teach kids new skills and confidence to continue their culinary journey. Your kids can cook up a storm, make a mess and learn how to clean it up! Taught by a professional chef, these classes are a great way to get your kids into the kitchen. Kids will go through tasty recipes themselves and get to enjoy or take home their creations at the end of the class. Kids in the Kitchen programs are designed for youth aged 8 - 12 years old. Sharp knives and hot elements may be involved. Visit our event calendar to find the next date and theme for your chef-in-training.

Kids in the Kitchen Camp

Our hands-on camp brings everything your kids love about the Kids in the Kitchen program to a week-long camp! We encourage campers (aged 8 – 12) to roll up their sleeves, get messy and make new friends.

In this camp, your little chefs will learn about basic cooking, nutrition, food preparation and more. Our Jr Chefs will go through multiple recipes a day to cook their own meals and snacks. Between cooking, there will be arts & crafts, games, and free time to spend with their fellow campers. Each junior cook will receive copies of the recipes from that week to recreate at home!

Registration includes 1 meal, 2 snacks, and activities for each day. Please bring a refillable water bottle.  

We encourage families to register early, as spaces fill up quickly.
