About
Join us for our week-long summer culinary camps. While aimed at teens, these camp sessions are designed to be challenging as we will introduce fairly advanced culinary techniques.
Our Culinary Squared camp focuses on the essentials a student would learn in their foundation year of Culinary School, within the context of the four daily square meals (you can't forget dessert!). The session kicks off with a full day of hands-on knife skills training and then moves into a wide range of techniques required to pull off a tasty menu.
