TEEN CULINARY CAMPS & CLASSES
IN BERKELY & OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCE YOUR TEEN TO COOKING.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LIFE SKILLS!
Teach your teen a valuable and meaningful skill they can build on for the rest of their lives. Our instructors are talented chefs who will guide through new cooking skills, have campers taste new flavors and create exciting global recipes to enjoy at the end of each class!
Our teen camps are hands-on! That means students actively cook along with the chef, who provides step-by-step demonstrations and support along the way.
Requirements:
-
The minimum age requirement for all teen classes is 12.
-
A waiver will need to be signed by a parent or guardian prior to the class in order for them to be able to participate.
-
Teens age 15-17 are also welcome to join almost any regularly scheduled cooking class on our calendar.
Note from Chef Olive: Students will learn important cooking techniques and hopefully get the “bug” for cooking as we have here at Kitchen on Fire. It is all about having fun in the kitchen!
