Chef Tech — Summer Cooking Camps 2025
Just try to find a cooking camp that has put as much attention to detail as they have at Chef Tech Cooking School. From kid-tastic themes to exclusively formulated recipes to the dedicated staff of instructors and summer interns, there is just nothing like it anywhere!
Chef Tech offers nine weeks of hands-on kids cooking camps. Kids (ages 7-15) train with real chefs, learn to chop, slice, and dice, mise en place (setting up), clean as they go, and eat the fantastic dishes they have prepared.
Week 5 is dedicated to our Tweens Cake Bake & Decorate program, designed for ages 10–16.
