Title: Sweet and Savoury Spring
We are pleased to announce the release of our newest and most delicious camp program to date, Sweet and Savoury Spring! This camp is perfect for budding chefs with a passion for both cooking and baking, offering a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant flavours of the season through hands-on learning.
Each morning, campers will dive into the world of savoury cooking, preparing flavourful dishes that double as their lunch. From cozy comfort foods to seasonal sides, they’ll master essential kitchen skills while creating meals that celebrate the season.
In the afternoons, campers will indulge the sweet side of life by mastering the art of baking and pastry-making. From cookies and cakes to more intricate confections like marshmallows, they’ll learn essential pastry techniques that will inspire and excite. Every recipe is designed to spark their passion for baking and satisfy their sweet tooth, giving them the skills to create delicious treats that are as fun to make as they are to eat!
Sweet and Savoury Spring is the ultimate destination for young chefs to develop their skills, build confidence in the kitchen, and discover the joy of creating balanced, flavourful recipes from scratch. Campers will leave with seasonal inspiration, enhanced culinary knowledge, and a collection of delicious recipes to recreate at home.

OVERVIEW: Our goal is to equip and expose students to hands on recipes around the world. Our young chefs will learn about different global flavours. We will step by step teach our students how to prepare these meals, appreciate new foods, new flavours and diverse cultures. Students will be empowered to execute sweet and savoury recipes at home so as to help cook meals at home and prepare lunches for school. Our welcoming environment provides a “real” setting so that the students can take what they learn at NCC to their own homes. Students will acquire the knowledge, experience, and confidence to build lifelong cooking skills that can ignite creativity, and build self-esteem. Students will eat what they prepare, execute recipes learned at home, build confidence, and most importantly create memories that will last forever.
We will be following the most up to date guidelines provided by Alberta health Services and the Government of Alberta. We will inform you of requirements to attend the camps such as the use of masks and temperature checks prior to day 1 of our camp. We will follow all necessary protocols to ensure a safe environment for all participants. We will keep you posted on the most recent protocols as we draw close to Spring. We want to use this opportunity to thank you for your understanding.
Nini’s Cooking Camp is one of our favourite time of the year. It allows us the opportunity to build relationships, go in-depth and get even more creative in the kitchen, learn global cuisines, and laugh while enjoying tasty meals. This is because we have more time to bring out the best in your child.
