CAPS offers a fun and entertaining cooking experience.
C.A.P.S.

A comprehensive summer camp program for serious young and teenage chefs.
This program is offered four times during the summer (twice for each age group) with each week-long series covering the fundamentals of the culinary world. Classes will not repeat recipes, only reinforce concepts. Students may take one session or both; however students must attend Monday thru Friday. If you are interested in attending professional culinary school or becoming a chef, this is the preparatory program for you; we recommend that you take both sessions. Our program is taught by our patient, professionally-trained chefs.
