The arrival of popular TV programme, Junior Masterchef has boosted children’s interest in cooking. So we have come up with a good way for kids to have fun and learn during the summer holidays.
For those who are interested in this option but don’t know anything about cooking camps, we have come up with this brief summary.
What is a cooking camp like?
There are many different cooking camps where kids can learn to cook different dishes always under the strict supervision of instructors to ensure the children’s safety.
These camps combine their cooking programmes with activities of different themes or trips out, so that as well as cooking, the children can have fun in other ways and get to know the environment they are in.
The aim of these camps is to introduce children to a balanced, healthy diet and to teach them the fundamental points of nutrition, all of this being taught by professionals.
Some camps centre around specific areas of cooking, like for example, baking, teaching children both the traditional and more innovative sides of cooking.
It tends to be cooking and baking professionals who teach programmes of this kind, so the kids get a real insight into the sector and can get advice from people within the field, learning the little tricks of the trade that this experience offers.
What type of workshops are done?
  • The workshops in the camp programme are varied and complementary, teaching the children many new skills, from how to make dough to how to present desserts.
  • They will learn in-depth about the raw materials used to make cake-baking products, their properties and uses.
