Winter Camp: Cozy Winter Kitchen

Program Dates

December 28–31 · Monday–Thursday (ends New Year's Eve)
Morning 9 AM–12 PM (ages 9–12) or Afternoon 3–6 PM (teens 13–17)

Give your child the chance to cook up warmth all week long in this hands-on winter camp.

Cozy Winter Kitchen is a four-day culinary camp full of the warming, comforting dishes that make winter delicious — soups, stews, baked pastas, fresh breads, and more. Younger cooks join the morning wave, while teens take the same themes deeper in the afternoon.

Throughout the week, students cook hearty dishes from start to finish — learning how slow cooking, good stock, and simple technique build deep, satisfying flavor from humble ingredients.

Classes are fully hands-on — students build knife skills, stovetop and oven techniques, seasoning awareness, and teamwork in the kitchen. The teen afternoon wave goes further into technique and depth of flavor for cooks ready for more.

This program emphasizes comfort, care, and confidence. Students leave able to cook a warm, satisfying meal for themselves and the people they love.
