Inspire Your Child's Inner Chef
Do you have a budding chef in the making? Our summer camps are designed for kids ages 9-11 and are the perfect place for youngsters to explore their culinary creativity. We provide a fun and safe environment for your kids to make delicious dishes, develop kitchen confidence, and cultivate a lifelong skill and love of cooking.
Your child will learn the basics of food preparation, kitchen safety, and cooking techniques from our Red Seal Chefs—all while having a lot of fun! And that's not all—each day, your junior chefs will get to take home their culinary creations for your family to taste.

Around The World

After spending some time at one of the communities nearby parks, in the afternoon they will put their baking skills to the test to create afternoon and morning snacks. Parents if you're lucky, they may even bring home some of the dishes they worked so hard to learn and create that day.
