Summer Camps

We are thrilled to announce that this summer marks the 14th year of Epic Cooking School’s beloved summer camps! Our program is an enriching and fun-filled traditional summer camp designed for campers ranging in age from 9-15. 

This summer, we are excited, once again, to offer a couple different varities of Summer Camps for students.

• The first is the traditional camp with mixed ages, students 9 and up - look for this color when you register.

• The second is a more advanced Boot Camp for older students- look for this color when you register.

Traditional Camp/Mixed Ages

In our traditional summer camps, students focus on cooking, baking, arts and crafts, and fostering friendships through engaging activities. 

Daily Camp Schedule:

• Morning Snack & Beverage Prep: Campers kick off the day by coming together to prepare a delicious snack, a beverage for lunch, and a variety of popsicle to enjoy at the end of the day.

• Get to Know Each Other: After the morning snack, campers enjoy a short break where they can play cards, games, or work on arts and crafts to build camaraderie.Each day is complemented by creative arts and crafts activities, allowing campers to express their creativity while making new friends.

• Lunch Preparation: Each day features a different cuisine (Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, etc.), and campers work in teams to prep and cook lunch together.

• Lunch Time: Campers gather around the table to enjoy the meal they prepared, enhancing social skills and teamwork.

• Group Clean-Up: After lunch, everyone pitches in to clean up and tidy the kitchen.

• Afternoon Activities: Campers split into two groups. One group works on making a delicious dessert, while the other group participates in a scheduled art activity. Afterward, they switch roles.

• Final Clean-Up & Treats: The day wraps up with a final group clean-up, popsicles, and packing up any leftover food/treats to take home.

Weekly Highlights:

• Wednesday: Get ready for our Chopped Challenge where campers put their culinary skills to the test!

• Thursday: Campers will love the fan-favorite Cupcake Wars, competing to create the most delicious and creatively decorated cupcakes.

Boot Camp

Designed for passionate young chefs ages 12 and up, this camp is ideal for students ready to level up their culinary skills. Whether they’re returning Epic campers or new food enthusiasts, this intensive camp will challenge and inspire them with advanced cooking techniques, exciting recipes, and more! We follow a similar schedule to the traditional camp above with an emphasis on the following:

• Recipe Reading:  A key focus of the camp will be teaching students how to effectively read and interpret recipes. This skill is vital for understanding techniques, timing, and ingredient interactions, helping them become more confident and independent cooks..

• Knife Skills Mastery: Safety and precision are paramount! Participants will hone their knife skills, learning various cutting techniques to enhance their culinary prowess.

• Understanding the How's and Why's of Cooking: Beyond just following recipes, students will delve into the principles of cooking, gaining a deeper appreciation for culinary arts and building their confidence.

• Daily Competitions: Each camp day will feature a fun and engaging competition, allowing students to apply their skills in a friendly environment. From timed challenges to team cook-offs, participants will put their learning to the test and showcase their creativity!
