GREAT FUN and SKILLS that last a LIFETIME!

Faraday’s Kids’ Chef Camp, open to children ages 7-15, will take place at Faraday’s Kitchen Store in Bee Cave for 8 individual weeks beginning June 10, 2013 and ending on August 9, 2013. All Kids Camps are 4 days in length (Monday thru Thursday).  SELECT below which Summer Kids Camp Week (s) you would like to attend!

Camp will be taught for the third year by Chef Larson Washington, who, in addition to his chef training, is also a teacher and coach with six years of experience in the Austin ISD.  Morning Sessions (AM) will be geared toward kids ages 7-12, while the Afternoon Sessions (PM) will feature more advanced skills for kids ages 11-15.

Camp Features:

Summer Kids Camp offers a wonderful opportunity for your childen to learn HANDS ON how to cook and prepare meals, while learning kitchen skills, proper sanitation, menu development, nutrition, and etiquette.  In addition 3-4 recipes a day will be prepared. Cooking instruction will be hands-on, and campers will receive recipes to take home with them. Light meal provided, but please have your children eat before attending camp.

NEW This YEAR 2013!  The focus is on skills and teamwork, as campers learn to work the stations of a high-performing professional kitchen. Our kitchen will feature three different Cooking Stations: Grill/Saute, Pantry (or Cold Preparation), and Bakery. Campers will work in small teams, mastering a different station each day. They will take turns being Team Leader as they prepare several dishes daily. The week will end with a Young Chef Challenge featuring a “MYSTERY BASKET” where they will use their creativity and advanced cooking techniques to create their own dishes! Their dishes will be evaluated based on taste, appearance and creativity.
