Young Chefs (Ages 10-15) Off-School Holiday Helper 2 Day Camp

About this event

Young Chefs Off- School Holiday Helper Camp: Cook, Bake & Share Two-Day Camp for Ages 10–15

Give your young cook a meaningful place at the holiday table—before the meal even begins.

Over two hands-on days, Young Chefs will cook through comforting, holiday-ready recipes while building the independence and practical kitchen skills that make them more confident helpers at home. From shaping meatballs and building a flavorful gravy to mixing roll dough, preparing stovetop macaroni and cheese, and baking mini apple pies, students will create a full collection of dishes they can be proud to share.

Whether they are asked to prepare a side dish, manage part of a holiday meal, or contribute something of their own to Thanksgiving, this camp gives young cooks real skills they can use during the holiday season—and well beyond it. They’ll practice working with greater responsibility, following a multi-step process, managing timing, and seeing how individual dishes come together into a complete meal.

And because food is even better when it is shared, Young Chefs will enjoy their own Friendsgiving-style celebrations at the Southernish studio, sitting down together to enjoy the meal they helped create.

Camp Schedule

Day 1 — Turkey Meatballs, Gravy & Mashed Potatoes

Students will prepare turkey meatballs, make gravy, and cook mashed potatoes. They’ll also mix an overnight dough for fresh rolls to bake on Day 2, then gather for their own Friendsgiving-style meal at the studio.

Day 2 — Mac & Cheese, Mini Apple Pies & Fresh-Baked Rolls

Young Chefs will make stovetop macaroni and cheese with sausage and broccoli, prepare mini apple pies with a streusel topping, and bake the rolls they began the day before.

Registration includes both camp days.
