Cakes - Baking and Decorating
On your mark, get set-- bake! Campers build basic skills, vocabulary, and confidence in baking. Campers learn the science of baking a cake, how to whip egg whites without losing the air, how oven temperature affects baking, and measurement skills. We end the week with an exciting bake-off challenge!
Love baking, cooking or just experimenting in the kitchen? Join us for a week of skill building fresh recipes and exciting food.
Maybe your child loves to watch Top Chef or Bake Off, maybe they’ve always dreamed of running their own bakery or restaurant, or maybe they love to help you with family meals. All are welcome in our Intro to Culinary Arts Camp, where campers will use science, math, art, and personal expression to craft delicious foods and learn all about cooking!

At ACE Academy Camps, our aim is to provide children with a creative space where they are free to explore, discuss, and create. The teacher’s role is to design available activities that utilize cognitive and sensory pathways to make the learning experience more effective, integrating academic concepts (math, language, science, problem solving) across different investigative opportunities. The student’s role is to explore wherever their interest guides them.
Our model is based on the latest educational research. Students learn best when they are part of the learning; that is, when they get to explore, discuss, provide opinions, or are appropriately challenged. We also know the effectiveness of student-centered learning, in which the learner uses their own inquiry and investigation to guide education, rather than committing to prescribed activities.
Active learning occurs when a child’s brain is challenged to use cognitive and sensory networks at the same time. “In plain terms, the more we can activate a student’s brain in different ways, the more they learn. This means that engaging as many sensory, cognitive, emotional and social processes in students will increase their learning potential.” (Source: Neuroscience of Active Learning).
Campers will explore topics related to the culinary arts. While campers are investigating through play and inquiry, they will use reading, writing, speech, math, and science skills to support their learning and exploration
