A cooking adventure awaits
Learning how to prepare great dishes takes far more than just following recipes. It requires familiarity with kitchen tools and appliances, an understanding of ingredients, and respect for food safety.
Your kids will learn all of this and more in our fully-equipped, professional-grade kitchen located in ATCO Park in South Calgary.
Frequently asked questions
-
What will my child need to bring?
We provide snacks, lunch, cooking ingredients and equipment. All your kids need to bring is their appetite and the willingness to learn!
-
What is your staff to children ratio?
Our staffing model will be 1 chef instructor for each group of 24 children, with 2-3 camp counselors for oversight and coordination.
-
Is there before and after care?
Complimentary before and after care is available from 8:30 – 9 am and from 4 – 4:30 pm.
-
Do you accommodate food allergies?
Due to the volume of the recipes campers will be making, we are unable to accommodate any food allergies or dietary restrictions. If your child has a food allergy that you believe will restrict what they are able to eat during the camp (snacks and lunch), we advise that they bring a bagged lunch.
-
What is your inclusion policy?
Our cooking camps strive to be an inclusive environment for all children. Please make us aware of any disabilities or behavioural needs that may affect your child’s participation.
While our goal is inclusive participation, there are times when a child requires more support than our staff can provide. Therefore, we welcome the opportunity for parents to send a support person to accompany the child.
