Full course details
We now have 4 Sessions for our Growing Gourmets Junior Summer Camp. Each 'Session' contains different course content and they do not need to be taken in sequence! Just choose one you have not done before. Lunch is provided each day.
On our popular summer cookery camps, each session features a menu full of delicious dishes designed to help our students explore, share, learn, discover, and play with new ideas and flavours in the kitchen with the support of our friendly and experienced tutors. On our Junior Summer Camp Session 2, students aged 11-14 are invited to join us for 4 days of cooking, baking, and general kitchen merrymaking.
Course runs Monday to Thursday (or Tuesday to Friday of a bank holiday week).

"The best camp I've ever been to!"
My daughter attended the Growing Gourmet summer camp this week and she absolutely loved every minute saying its "The best camp I've ever been to!!" Thank you so much for everything, your kindness and professionalism, she had so much fun. I was amazed by the quality of food that she brought out with her every day. Its such an important life skill and to gain confidence in cooking at such an early age is priceless. She'll be back again and I'm looking at something for myself now!!

"Gained a huge appreciation for cooking"
Aoife had the best week at Growing Gourmets Summer Camp!!! She could not speak more highly of the organisers and all the chefs and tutors. She learned so much and gained a huge appreciation for cooking and for food. It was great to see so many boys and girls working together and really immerse themselves into it. Thank you so much for such a well organised, enjoyable camp experience!

Your course itinerary
| 09:45 AM – 10:00 AM | Welcome to Dublin Cookery School. There’s a lot on the agenda every day so everyone is encouraged to arrive 15 minutes prior to the course start-time in order for the whole group to jump into action together! |
| 10:00 AM – 02:00 PM | We generally start our classes in our modern, mirror-lined Demo Kitchen. The lead tutor will introduce our special plans for the day and then jump right in to the delicious tasks at hand. In our Growing Gourmet classes, we keep things active and alternate throughout the day between the Demo and Hands-On kitchens with plenty of tastings in between. In our practical sessions, we organize the students so that everyone works in pairs with specific tasks assigned to each person. Everyone will receive their own recipe packs for all the dishes we cover and accumulate quite the collection by the end of the week! |
| 02:00 – 02:30 PM | This is when we clean up and wrap up! On our last day of the week, the mood is quite festive and by this time, there will be many new friends made. Thank you so much for spending your week with us and we wish all our young gourmands many happy cooking adventures to come. |
