Calling all budding chefs!

Give your teens (ages 12-17) a valuable and meaningful experience that will teach them skills they can build on as college students and adults. Our instructors are not only talented chefs but mentors and parents who love to share their passion for food!

All levels of cooking skill knowledge are welcome!

We are offering 1 day culinary camps on days when school is out. Menus for each of these camps will vary, so that way your teen can come back for multiple 1 day camps and learn a whole new set of skills and foods!

Menu - Coming soon

Daily Schedule:

• 10:30 am - 12:30 pm: Baking
• 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm: Take a break and enjoy a chef prepared lunch

Note from Chef Olive:

Students will learn important cooking techniques and hopefully get the "bug" for cooking like we do here at Kitchen on Fire. In the end, it is all about having fun in the kitchen!

Note to Parents:

Once you enroll your teen, you will receive a link in your confirmation email which will direct you to our "Minor Waiver & Consent Form". Please complete and submit this waiver prior to the first class. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at info@kitchenonfire.com.

Class Format:

Each class will begin with a lecture from the chef about the day’s theme and recipes. After this introduction, the group will break up into smaller teams, and start working on the recipes in the class menu. A snack will be served at the beginning of class, and you will be eating the dishes you make at the end of class. You are welcome to eat as much as you’d like in class, though unfortunately, our zoning permit does not allow us to have students take food home.

Health and Safety:

• Masks are optional • COVID protocols are subject to change to reflect local and state mandates.

What to wear/bring to class:

• Close toed shoes are mandatory. High heels, open toed shoes, sandals, flip flops are NOT allowed in the kitchen. • Shoulder-length hair or longer needs to be worn back and away from your face; we have plenty of hair ties in the kitchen for you to use and keep. • Feel free to bring a favorite apron or a knife you want to practice with but know that we will supply aprons and all the tools you need for use during class.
