Great Fun and Skills that will last a lifetime!
Our 17th year of Summer Chef Camp, open to children ages 7-15, will take place at Faraday’s Kitchen Store in Bee Cave for 10 individual 4-Day Sessions, beginning Monday, June 3, 2024 through Thursday, August 8, 2024. All Summer Camps run Monday thru Thursday, and each week features a different theme and recipes that are related to that theme.
PRICE: $289 PER CHILD
FOR EACH 4-DAY SESSION
Summer Camp Features:
Chef Summer Camp offers a wonderful opportunity for your children to learn HANDS-ON how to cook and prepare meals, while learning kitchen skills, proper sanitation, menu development and nutrition. In addition, 3-4 recipes a day will be prepared. Give your child skills that they’ll use for a lifetime!
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 CHALLENGE” 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.
Recipes and menus listed below are subject to change. NO NUTS will be used in the preparation of any dish.

2024 COOKING CAMP PROCEDURES
At this time, we are not requiring that each child bring and wear a face mask. We will review our policy on COVID protections before camp begins in June and may decide to alter the policy depending on the COVID situation at that time.
Camp Participants must abide by the following rules:
- Respect social distancing between groups.
- Use effective handwashing and sanitizing procedures. Children could be required to wear kitchen safe gloves when handling uncooked food.
- Wear closed toe shoes
- Keep shoulder length or longer hair restrained (must be secured all around so no touching is needed)
- Follow all directions from Chefs/Instructor and Cooking Class Assistants
- All safety and sanitation regulations will be followed
We are sorry, but given the limited space in our Kitchen for social distancing, Parents and/or additional guests may NOT enter the Kitchen before, during or after class. The campers will eat the meal they have prepared at the end of the camp session, and then be available for pickup. There will be no public sharing of the meal, and no to-go food will be permitted to be taken from class. Again, this policy will be reviewed before Camp starts and may change.
An adult must accompany each participant into the store each day and pick them up at the end of each session inside the store. Campers need to be signed in and out of camp.
