CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Day 1: Let’s Get The Basics Down
Young chefs get a running start on their culinary expertise as they spend their first day of camp exploring age-appropriate culinary skills and techniques that they will use and build on over the week. They’ll learn (and practice) basic knife skills and discover how to use a variety of kitchen equipment and tools as they dig deep into how a kitchen works. Along the way, they’ll get lots of hands-on experience as they whip up yummy recipes all by themselves like homemade pasta and pizza, including homemade dough from scratch, and more.
Day 2: The Young Chef’s Herb Garden
Herb gardens can be a chef’s best friend, and this includes budding chefs, too. On day two, kids will have lots of hands-on fun as they explore how to use different herbs in a variety of recipes and then how they’re added to recipes to create flavorful delights such as a fresh Pesto Pasta dish made with homemade pesto, savory Herb Muffins, and more. At the end of the class, they’ll learn how simple it is to grow herbs as they start their own herb garden made out of recycled materials found right in the kitchen, and then take them home to nurture and grow.
Day 3: On Your Mark, Get Set… Let’s Cook!
On our final day of camp, it’s time for the kids to pull it all together and use the information they’ve learned this week! Our budding chefs will divide into small groups and find a unique set of ingredients in their mystery box. Then it’ll be up to them to create tasty sensational dishes from these ingredients. Don’t worry, we’ll provide clues to spark their creativity and, of course, we’ll they’ll also have plenty of expert assistance from Chef Ariel and our staff as the kids use their imaginations to create their own unique dishes. At the end of class, we’ll award fun prizes as kids compete for the title of most original recipe, most colorful, healthiest, and tastiest recipe. Of course, everyone goes home with a win under their belt. What a perfect way to show off their newfound cooking skills!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CLASS:
We Require A Waiver Signed By Parent/Legal Guardian: Prior to admittance to this class, we require a waiver to be signed by a parent or legal guardian. This waiver requests a phone number where you can be reached during the class if necessary and names of any additional people who are authorized to pick up the child after class. We encourage you to print off a copy of this Waiver, sign it and either 1) scan and email it to lori@kcculinary.com or 2) bring/send it to class with your student. Without an appropriately signed Waiver your child will not be allowed to attend class. We are sorry but we cannot make any exceptions to this rule. If someone other than the parent drops off your child, they will need evidence that they have the legal authority to sign a Waiver on behalf of your child at that time. [Click here to download the Waiver]
What To Wear To Class: For safety reasons, we also recommend that students wear close-toed shoes, long pants and have long hair pulled back.
If Your Child Plans To Attend Class With Someone Else, please add their name(s) to the ‘Comments’ section of your online registration so that we can seat you together; otherwise we cannot ensure that you will be seated together for the class. If you register for multiple students at one time, that registration will prompt you to supply the names of all students you are registering and we will know to seat you together.
Only Registered Students Will Be Allowed In The Classroom During Class: This is so your child will have the best possible experience and the instructors have their full attention. Parents should plan to pick up their students at the end of the advertised hours for their class.

Several of our instructors even have early childhood and teaching background and certification. However, we are not equipped to work with, nor are these classes designed for, children who may have special needs, issues with focus, or difficulty with sitting still to listen and concentrate on the instructor or issues with relating to other students in a classroom setting. When we encounter a student who requires significant special attention, the experience for the other students suffers. While our class and cooking camps are well staffed, we just don’t have the staff to be able to allocate someone to work directly with your child for the entire class. Should we identify a situation where we believe a student falls within one or more of these categories, we will be contacting you to pick up your students. Unfortunately, we will not be able to issue a refund for all or any part of the class or camp fees. Please feel free to call us to discuss any questions or concerns that you feel should be discussed in advance of your child’s class. Please be aware of our 5-day cancellation policy.
