Winter Break Camps & Workshops

West Springs Church, 816-78th Street SW, Calgary, AB T3H 6B1

This holiday lets ring in the festive season with beautiful songs just like it used to be when we were kids. Let’s cook and bake with friends and family and share beautiful holiday memories together.

Invite a friend to come with you as you spend beautiful times together because cooking with love provides food for the soul.

As Goodrich puts it ” Christmas is like candy; it slowly melts in your mouth sweetening every taste bud, making you wish it could last forever.

Do you have a little Chef at your house? Do you have a friend or family who is not sure of what to do during the holidays? Invite them to join you.
When you pull out the mixing bowl do your children want to dive in and help? I know that feeling- the smell of fresh baked goods is simply irresistible 🙂
Does your child want cooking and baking utensils as birthday gifts? Yes, you have come to the right place.
Do you want your child to gradually learn to make Christmas treats, lunch or dinner?
Do you want your children to develop lifelong independent skills but lack the time to guide them? We are here to help.

Nini’s Cooking Class is the perfect place for students to develop, share memories, build relationships, and sharpen their culinary skills .

At Nini’s Cooking Class (NCC) we have an amazing program just for the young ones. Your budding Chef will learn: baking and cooking skills, safety in the kitchen, and have loads of fun too. We want your little Chef or Baker to blossom under the guidance of a world class professional. Your child will build important kitchen skills, meet new friends, and find a new outlet for all that passion for food! Set the Table for all the delicious treats your child will make for you soon!

Morning or Afternoon classes are available. You can sign up for AM session or PM session or both. Please take note of your session once registered.

Morning classes run 9am – 12pm.

Afternoon classes run 1pm – 4pm.

Goal: Our program is designed for your child to learn cooking and baking techniques and tips across the globe. Whether your child is just starting out in the kitchen or is an advanced learner, our classes are tailored so that your child can learn and develop lifelong skills in the kitchen.

OVERVIEW: Our goal is to equip and expose students to hands on recipes. Students will eat what they prepare, execute recipes learned at home, build confidence, and most importantly create memories that will last forever.

Camps are for kids 5-18 yers old.
