Basic Summer Camp Details
Jr. Chef’s work in teams of four. Each day is a different session in which kids learn the basic skills they need to cook safely and enjoy it!
Mornings in Basic Camp are spent in the kitchen preparing 3 - 4 courses which they eat for lunch.
Monday through Thursday afternoons are spent in activities and games related to food, nutrition and etiquette. One of the favorite games is Food Jeopardy!
Friday is the Showcase. Jr. Chef's prepare dishes they've made throughout the week to share with their guests as well as demonstrations highlighting things they've learned all week. Two guests are included with each camp tuition. Jr. Chef Showcase will be from 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM. (Exception - Our 4-day camp does not include a Showcase)
Age: 10 - 15 (Jr. Chef’s must be 10 by their first day of camp. No exceptions)

Cell Phone Policy - If you’re signing up for Jr. Chef Central Summer Camp, you’re joining us to meet new friends and learn a life skill that we hope you will enjoy the rest of your life! With that in mind, we ask our Jr. Chef’s to keep there cell phones in their personal cubbies (assigned on the first day) and not on their person, during class time or in the kitchen. Jr. Chef’s will have access to their phones, but they should be checked and returned to their cubbies promptly.
