Vaughan - March Break Cooking Camp - March 16-20, 2026

Loading schedule...


Our March Break Cooking Camp is sure to inspire your child's inner chef!

Available for junior chefs aged 7-16, our camp program runs from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and features a daily themed breakfast, lunch and snack (please see menu below)

 

We offer a hands-on experience to get kids comfortable in the kitchen and try new foods, all while encouraging their creativity. Our junior chefs will learn to make all of the recipes from scratch, learn to use a variety of utensils, learn kitchen safety and hygiene, how to properly measure dry and liquid ingredients, how to follow a recipe, table etiquette and much more. In between cooking and eating, the kids will enjoy food-themed activities and time outside to play (weather permitting).

 

We are 100% Nut and Peanut Free!

 

We offer programs throughout the school year including weekend/evening classes, PD Day camps, Winter Break and Summer Camps, as well as private parties.
