Your Cook's Academy holiday will cover a different theme every day so that you experience cooking a variety of dishes from different cultures mixed in with a few favourites! The daily themes include Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Moroccan. Then there is the hugely popular Chocolate Sensations day and the delicious Bakery Day!
====Is previous experience required?
No, our professional chef will pass on their knowledge so you can develop from any level of experience.
Do I need any special equipment?
No, we will provide you with a full range of cooking equipment and aprons. You will however need to wear closed toe shoes, long trousers, tie hair back and remove jewellery in order to participate.
My child has dietary requirements, can they still participate?
Please let our team know with plenty of notice if your child has any dietary requirements and we will always try our best to accommodate where possible. For example we can swap meat and dairy products for vegan/vegetarian alternatives.
Ps - to create the best camp experience for kids attending occasionally we will combine adjacent age groups on selected activity sessions. This does not include rooming or pastoral groups.

Every day is different
Every day you get to spend half your day trying out a selection of different activities from our brilliant Multi-Activity programme such as climbing and canoeing. The other half of your day is spent in our cookery school. Not all activities are available at all centres; please see the specific centre pages for more information.
Evening activities - the fun doesn’t stop there!
We also include fun-packed evening activities programmes at all our centres, every day, all year round, whichever holiday you choose. Your culinary adventure awaits!
