Kitchen Crew Off- School Holiday Helper Camp

Two-Day Camp for Ages 6–10


Over two hands-on days, Kitchen Crew will cook through comforting, holiday-ready recipes while building the practical skills that make them more confident helpers at home. From shaping meatballs and making gravy to mixing roll dough, preparing stovetop macaroni and cheese, and baking mini apple pies, students will create a full collection of dishes they can be proud to share.

Whether they are asked to stir, roll, measure, set the table, or even make their own dish to bring to the Thanksgiving table, this camp gives young cooks real kitchen skills they can use during the holiday season—and well beyond it. They’ll leave better prepared to take on meaningful jobs alongside the adults in their own kitchens.

And because food is even better when it is shared, Kitchen Crew will enjoy their own Friendsgiving-style celebrations at the Southernish studio, sitting down together to enjoy the meals they helped create.

Camp Schedule

Day 1 — Turkey Meatballs, Gravy & Mashed Potatoes


Students will prepare turkey meatballs, make gravy, and cook mashed potatoes. They’ll also mix an overnight dough for fresh rolls to bake on Day 2, then gather for their own Friendsgiving-style meal at the studio.

Day 2 — Mac & Cheese, Mini Apple Pies & Fresh-Baked Rolls


Kitchen Crew will make stovetop macaroni and cheese with sausage and broccoli, prepare mini apple pies with a streusel topping, and bake the rolls they began the day before for a second celebratory feast. 

Registration includes both camp days.

What to Expect:

  • This is a drop-off cooking camp for children ages 6–10.
