Pro Chefs. Pro Kitchens.
Summer Culinary is a premier cooking summer camp for teens who are serious about learning to cook regardless of their skill level.
Our student chefs love food and want to build their skills… and they want to explore one of our world-class host cities in the evenings with our curated tours and skilled staff.
We accept all skill levels. What is required is a love of food and a desire to learn. We take you from exactly where you are to just where you want to go! We focus on skill building like plating, sauces, glazes and knife use, and we make over 100 amazing recipes from scratch. Come see why we are the best cooking camp for teens in the country!

Professional Quality
The criteria for choosing any cooking camp should be:
What kind of kitchen is used?
Are the instructors actual professional chefs?
How much time per day are your students in the kitchen?
At Summer Culinary, our kitchens are professional and fully outfitted, with professional chefs, and we are in the kitchen from 10am – 6pm every day!
Students make, create and enjoy their own lunches and dinners. Full recipes, appetizers, entrees, desserts… paired thematically… with a special emphasis on plating and presentation at the end. Like Gordon Ramsey says, it all starts with the presentation. What we are out to do is equip our culinary camp students with the skills it takes to step up their game… and to empower them to know themselves as someone who can create and serve excellence. When we combine these intentions with the real on-the-court skill-building exercises we have created (like knife skills)…. we have created a recipe for culinary success.
For all skill levels; sleep-away and day options available. Contact us for a list of references!

Cooking Summer Camp
Testimonials
“This camp changed my son’s life for the better. He was able to find a community of adults and students that shared the same passion he had for cooking and food. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive. Not only did they have a great time in the kitchen and learning, but did fun activities in the evening to bond and create an inclusive environment. He did 1 week of camp in ATX and already wants to go back for 2 weeks next year…and maybe even travel to NYC or LA!”
