Virtual BUDDING BAKERS CAMP | Rooks to Cooks

Virtual BUDDING BAKERS CAMP | Rooks to Cooks

Cooking & Baking

AUGUST 3RD – 6TH: BUDDING BAKERS

$160/WEEK OR $45.00/DAY (PER HOUSEHOLD)

Objective: To teach our budding bakers foundational pastry and baking skills, while building their knowledge and self-confidence both in and out of the kitchen. Upon completing the program, campers will leave with the knowledge and skills to execute a wide range of sweet and savoury baked goods independently and a lifelong passion for the pastry arts. 

Budding bakers is a fun and hands-on sweet and savoury baking camp meant to engage your aspiring chefs with a passion for the sweet side of life. Our campers will develop their baking skills and learn how to make a wide range of summer-inspired baked goods from yeasted breads, cakes, pastries, and even ice cream sandwiches! Each day we will focus on new techniques and pastry theories executing recipes that utilize this new knowledge under the supervision and direction of our experienced chef instructors. Leaving the program, our bakers-to-be will know a wide range of baking techniques, the science behind the ratios that make their baked goods so delicious, and of course, the practical experience needed to recreate the magic at home!

Looking to diversify your child’s summer programming? Look no further, Our virtual summer camps are back and better than ever! After a full year of experimenting with new virtual structures, menus, and class themes, we are proud to say we’ve perfected our curriculum and are beyond thrilled to release our most innovative and exciting programs to date!

All camps are conducted LIVE on Zoom by our experienced and passionate chef instructors. Through step-by-step instruction, your chef-to-be will learn valuable life and cooking skills as they cook their way through 5-star menus inspired by the season.  While learning and practicing new culinary skills, their chefs will also share industry knowledge and theory promoting a holistic learning environment. 

Zoom links, consolidated shopping lists, recipes, equipment needs, and set up instructions will be sent 2 weeks before your course. 

All camp options are half-day, conveniently offered in the morning from 10:00am – 12:30pm or afternoons from 1:00pm – 3:30pm in order to fit your family’s schedule. Cleaning time has been built into the program to help save parents the hassle.

To ensure your child receives the absolute best education, attention, and supervision, we have capped our camps at ONLY 14 students per week! They will have the chance to work with two of our experienced and passionate chef instructors maintaining our unparalleled 1:7 staff to student ratio.

Savoury camps will yield 4 portions of nutritionally balanced meals that can serve as either lunch (morning students) or dinner prep (afternoon students) for the entire family, thus offering the chance for your child to take on the meal prep role for your family that week! All pastry weeks will produce bakery-quality, delicious pastries to enjoy as dessert or share with the family, friends and neighbours. 

All savoury recipes and most pastry recipes have gluten-free, vegan and nut-free alternatives.

JR vs SR CAMPS OPTIONS

Not sure whether your child is best suited for our JR or SR camps? Not to worry, we’re here to help you find the right program for your budding chef! Our JR camp curriculum has been built for entry-level cooks looking to build on their skills and grow their passion for the culinary arts. Our SR camp curriculum is tailored for intermediate to advanced cooks looking to challenge themselves and expand their recipe repertoire. Beginners of any age are best suited for our JR camps with parental support. If you’re not sure where your child fits in, students ages 7-10 are recommended to join our JR group and teens ages 11 – 16 are recommended to join our SR group.  

Students 6 years and up are welcome with 1:1 parental support at all times.

 

PARENTAL SUPERVISION & SUPPORT RECOMMENDATIONS 

Parental supervision and or support requirements are completely dependent on your child and your family’s comfortability with your child’s independence in the kitchen. Supervision and support requirements can vary from none to 1:1 support at all times, it simply depends on your child, their experience level, and confidence in the kitchen. With this being said, our goal first and foremost is to help our students become the most self-sufficient, independent, and confident they can be. As such, we build our programs in a way that limits parental involvement and empowers our students to take responsibility for themselves. 

The safety of our students is our top priority. To ensure our programming is as safe as possible we select cooking methods and recipes that limit your child’s exposure to high-risk equipment and activities. With this being said, cooking and baking come with an inherent risk that differs from other types of youth programming. As such, we have conveniently listed parental supervision and support recommendations on all recipes to help you and your family plan for your child’s participation and ensure they are as safe as can be during their time with us.
