Midtown - PD Day Cooking Camp

Offered on all PD Days for the TDSB for kids aged 7-16.

Classes start at 9 a.m., pick up time is 4 p.m.

Our Junior Chefs will learn the basics of food preparation, cooking techniques, baking, healthy eating ...but most of all, they'll learn how to create and enjoy great food.

Each day includes breakfast, lunch and a snack (see below for daily themes) and we also get to enjoy the local park outside (weather permitting), or indoor food-themed activities.

Your child will soon be making dinner for you every night!

The Chef Upstairs is 100% nut and peanut free. We take pride in being allergy aware, so if your child has other allergies, be sure to let us know.
