Summer Camp Descriptions
Basic Culinary
Every successful chef begins with the basics! Experience life as a culinary student as you learn the essentials of professional cooking: knife skills, kitchen terminology, safety, and sanitation. You’ll work in state-of-the-art kitchens making dishes like multi-colored fresh pasta, ravioli, and bass baked in banana leaves. At the end of the 5-day camp, you’ll use fruit carving techniques to create centerpieces for the closing banquet, a luncheon prepared entirely by culinary campers for their families and friends.
Advanced Culinary Camp
Take the next step in your culinary education! Build on the skills and principles you learned in basic culinary camp to make more complicated dishes—sausage meat, stuffed chicken ballotine, bass with fresh Thai curry, vegetable terrines, cold soup, and more. Under the guidance of our expert faculty, you’ll prepare the closing banquet at the end of the week, served in our fine dining room to family and friends. Pre-requisite: Basic Culinary Camp
Basic Baking and Pastry Camp
Think dessert is the best part of the meal? You won’t want to miss this—a comprehensive introduction into the world of professional baking and pastry. Work in our exceptional pastry kitchens and our specialized chocolate and sugar kitchen as you learn the basics of baking like the pros—from yeast dough and meringue to fruit tartes, éclairs, quick breads, and cakes. At the end-of-the-week award banquet, you’ll showcase your creations at a spectacular dessert buffet.
Advanced Baking and Pastry Camp
Sweeten up your dessert-making skills with this intensive week-long camp. Expert chefs will teach you to make delectable mousse-based cakes, ice creams, chocolate decorations, savarin, molten chocolate desserts, and more!
