About
The Culinary Dude

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.

(Winter Cooking Camp)

Our daughter loved the camp. We appreciated that she learned how to work in the kitchen and learned to be more comfortable using the utensils and stove. In addition, she felt pride in working as a team in creating dishes that they could eat themselves as well as bring home for family members. She is not aspiring to be a Top Chef but just to have a love for cooking. This camp is perfect for this purpose.

This was my 5 year old daughter’s favorite summer camp ever! She learned a ton about cooking safety, cleanliness, how to properly use kitchen tools and cooking! She came home excited to share all the yummy food they’d made that day! Scot, the instructor did a great job of involving a wide age range of kids, engaging them in age appropriate tasks. They worked well as a team and they had so much fun!! We will do this camp again!

Both of my kids went to The Culinary Dude's Camp this past Thanksgiving Break and had a blast! They brought food home to share daily and it was amazing. Looking forward to the Cooking with Insects theme this year and the kids are excited too!!!
