Rise and shine for a hands-on, flavour-packed week at our Diner Classics and Breakfast Bootcamp! Whether you’re flipping the perfect pancakes, crisping up golden hash browns, or crafting the ultimate burger and fries, you’ll learn to cook like a pro from prep to plating.
Work in a real kitchen, set up your own station and bring diner favorites to life with pro techniques. By the end of the week, you’ll have the skills (and confidence) to cook up something irresistible anytime. Get ready to turn up the heat and bring your diner A-game!
Campers will engage in three hours of hands-on themed programming each day. A recreation break will be taken in the middle of the day where campers will participate in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, creative and artistic projects and interactive teambuilding games.
