summer camps at Le Petit Pâtissier

Unlock your child’s culinary creativity! Join one or more of our week-long cooking camps, where each day brings a new adventure in the kitchen. From baking projects to exploring foods from around the world, your young chef will build skills, confidence, and explore new culinary frontiers while having fun and making delicious memories.

Camps meet for one week, Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 3 pm (6 hours per day), and are capped at a maximum of 8 students per class to ensure a highly hands-on experience and individualized instruction. Camps are open to students 6-11 years of age, and all activities are thoughtfully tailored to be developmentally appropriate for each child.

Each day, students will work on making their own morning snack, lunch, and dessert. While most of the day is spent cooking and baking, students will also take breaks from the kitchen to enjoy thematically-adjacent artistic and educational projects, such as making their own custom aprons, performing kitchen-related science experiments, and learning about countries and cultures connected to the foods we make.

Our camps feature fun recipes your child will be excited to make, high-quality ingredients, instruction and support from a classically-trained chef, and a copy of all recipes made so your child can practice and recreate them at home. A morning snack, lunch, and dessert (all made by your child!) are included each day. The week culminates in a Friday “tasting showcase,” where students proudly share some of their tasty creations with their grownup.

Our camp is located in Carmel Valley (92130).
