Exposing your child to cooking at a young age helps prepare them for the future. Enrolling your child in a kid or teen cooking class or camp at The Chopping Block brings them one step closer to mastering those skills they will need for the rest of their lives.
Each kids' and teens' cooking camp includes a hands-on lesson on ingredients, sanitation, organization and cooking/baking techniques. Our camps are a deep dive into cooking and baking techniques, so not only will your child learn how to follow a recipe and practice math skills, but they will understand the science behind that recipe so that they can easily replicate it at home for their family.
But it's not all hard work! We also have fun exploring new foods and flavors and making friends along the way. Your child will be empowered with their new knowledge and newfound confidence in the kitchen.
Our kids and teen summer camps are held in the summer months when school is not in session, but we occasionally host classes for kids and teens on holidays, too.
Learn how to make ramen noodles from scratch! Teens, ages 12-16, are invited to join us for a fun hands-on class where you get to eat what you make in class. Our chef will teach your teen all about the tools and ingredients needed to successfully make ramen and dumplings, and with a little practice and our chef’s helpful hints, you’ll learn just how easy it really is to make a Japanese-inspired meal in your own kitchen.

Teens, ages 12-16, are invited to join us for a hands-on holiday baking class. Each student will prepare their very own take-home 9-inch pumpkin pie (perfect for your holiday table!) in a disposable pie pan with our homemade flaky and tender pie dough. Our chef will teach rolling and crimping techniques along with how to make the perfect filling. While the pies are baking, we’ll make apple fritters to enjoy during class. Cake boxes will be provided to transport the pies.
