SUMMER COOKING CAMPS 2026
THE BEST KID’S COOKING CAMP IN LOS ANGELES!
Just try to find a cooking camp that has put as much attention to detail as we have here at Chef Tech Cooking School. From our kid-tastic themes to our exclusively formulated recipes to our dedicated staff of instructors and summer interns, there is just nothing like it anywhere!
Chef Tech offers 9 weeks of hands-on kids cooking camps (Monday-Friday). Kids (ages 7-15) train with real chefs, learn to chop, slice, and dice, mise en place (setting up), clean as they go, and eat the fantastic dishes they have prepared. Space is limited to 16 kids per session, Week 5 is limited to 12 kids per session.
