Young Chef Academy

Are you interested in learning basic cooking skills and exploring whether culinary arts could be a future career path? Join us for a 3-day introductory camp at the G. Frank Russell Technology Center, where students will work in a state-of-the-art kitchen that is home to the thriving RTC high school culinary arts program. An award-winning chef will guide participants through foundational skills such as baking, safe knife handling, essential cooking techniques, and flavor development, all through hands-on experience designed to build confidence in the kitchen. Students will create a variety of dishes, receive Young Chef Academy merchandise and recipes, and take home their completed creations. All students must wear closed-toe shoes, and those with long hair must have it pulled back. This youth course is open to students currently in grades 6–9.
