What’s on the Menu

In this high-energy, competition-style camp, there is no set menu — just mystery ingredients, creativity, and the clock ticking!

Participants will be paired into teams and guided by experienced kitchen assistants as they take on a series of exciting cooking challenges inspired by popular culinary competitions.

Example Challenge Rounds

Round 1: Appetizer Challenge
Round 2: Main Course Challenge
Round 3: Dessert Challenge

What to Expect

Working in teams, they’ll collaborate, problem-solve, and bring their ideas to life under light time pressure.

Each team will be supported by a kitchen assistant, providing guidance, mentorship, and encouragement every step of the way.

Once the challenges are complete, teams will present their dishes and enjoy their creations together.

In between rounds, participants will have short breaks, snacks, and time to reset before the next challenge.

This camp is perfect for aspiring young chefs who are ready to level up their skills, build confidence, and experience the excitement of a real cooking competition.
