Kids Culinary Summer Camps

There are SO many summer camps out there that it can be hard to pick which ones you want to send your kids to! But of course not as hard as it is to make the spreadsheet for each kid and try to fill in the blanks, pick camps that aren’t too far from each other and then say a prayer that they get into all of the camps making your perfect summer camp spreadsheet complete! #momproblems See below for some of our favorite local summer camps that provide kids with an opportunity to learn cooking and baking skills. Teaching kids these skills now will help them build confidence in the kitchen and enjoy cooking. If you aren’t local to Charleston we recommend checking out your local kids museum, culinary or technical school, and recreation centers.

  • Raddish(can sign up online...not a local program!) is a subscription based kids cooking program. Once you sign up you get a box delivered to your home each month that includes 3 recipes, a kitchen tool, grocery list, specific culinary skills to work on and much more. Parents and kids love it because it’s a fun way to get everyone involved in the kitchen and it all comes right to your home so you can do it on your own schedule.


  • Kids Cooking Class is designed to help students cook healthy meals. Learn how simple meals can be made in no time. Recipes will be given to try with family at home. This is offered through the city of Charleston at the Arthur W Christopher Community Center  for kids ages 8-12.

  • Love Baking 101   offers small class sizes with an opportunity for one-on-one instruction. The class instructor encourages creativity and will support your vision when making a cake or cupcakes you will love and be proud to share! This class is also offered through the city of Charleston at the Arthur W Christopher Community Center for kids ages 10-16.

  • Trident College offers a variety of themed classes including breakfast, cake decorating, ethnic cuisines, dinner. Classes for kids ages 7-11.


  • Palmetto Kids Cooking  teaches kids the basics of cooking and baking with physical activity and fun thrown in! Camp is available for kids ages 5-12.

  • Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry offers an amazing curriculum of camps each summer. This summer they are offering 2 weeks of culinary themed camps during the weeks of June 17 and July 29.   Kids will be able to explore the nutritional value of food to make healthy choices for a healthy lifestyle. Campers classify foods as Go, Slow, and Whoa foods as they mix, measure, and taste while preparing yummy treats. Campers practice basic knife skills and safety with nylon knives. Child-friendly recipes will be shared with families.  Activities are developmentally appropriate and different each week.
