The Culinary Dude's Summer Cooking Camp-Official State Foods Ages 6-12

$600    |  Jul 14 - 18, 2025  |  10:00AM
St Augustine Catholic Church

Ages 6-12

WE NEED A MINIMUM ENROLLMENT OF 8 CAMPERS TO RUN A SESSION

Did you know that each state has it own state food, fruit, snack food and cookie? There are so many options for us to make! Now you can go to any state and know what their speciality is!

Our hands-on cooking camps will enable kids to find their inner chef. The Culinary Dude has created a wonderful collection of daily menus that the kids will cook themselves. Using the freshest ingredients, fun and interactive cooking techniques, the kids will prepare their daily lunch from scratch each day as they learn kitchen and food safety, professional kitchen etiquette, measuring ratios, prep skills, and table manners. In addition, the kids will be introduced to a wide variety of tactile recipes. This is a great cooperative experience for all involved.

We are a boutique camp and limit our enrollment to 20 campers maximum per session. Unlike other programs who just want your money, our focus is to cater to each child individually, help them where they need improvement and cap our camp numbers to keep the class intimate, so your child does not get lost in the masses and feels like they are truly a part of the whole.

We offer BEFORE CAMP CARE, 9-10am and AFTER CAMP CARE, 2-3pm. Click on the Ticket Button for prices.

We always offer Early Bird Discounts, so sign up early!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We do the best we can to accommodate children with allergies and intolerances. If your child is extremely allergic to the whole spectrum of Dairy, Wheat and or Egg/Egg Products, this might not be the camp for your child. As a nut-free business we use sunflower seeds, SunButter and Wowbutter as a nut replacement unless otherwise requested.
