Winter Break Camp 2024: Cozy Cooking Adventures!
When the weather outside is chilly, there’s no better place for your little chef to be than inside, creating delicious dishes to warm the heart! While the snow falls and the temperatures drop, our Winter Break Camp will keep your junior chefs (ages 6-14) busy and cozy, learning to cook up a storm in the kitchen.
❄️ Weather Outside: The winter winds may be howling, but inside, we’ll be heating things up with exciting cooking adventures.
🔥 What’s Cooking Inside:
- Holiday treats that fill the air with sweet smells of cinnamon, sugar, and spice!
- Festive soups and comforting stews that are perfect for chilly days.
- Creative cookie decorating and seasonal baking projects that will bring a little extra warmth to the coldest of winter days.
🍴 Making Lunch from Scratch
Your junior chefs will also prepare their own lunches from scratch, learning to create delicious meals they’ll enjoy during the day. Whether it’s a savoury stew or a hearty bake, they’ll discover how fun and easy it is to make a wholesome meal all on their own!
Each day, your junior chef will be busy preparing scrumptious meals, mastering the art of cooking and baking, and keeping their hands (and hearts) warm! They’ll learn new skills, make tasty treats, and leave with delicious take-home treats to share with the family.
So, while the snowflakes are dancing outside, inside we’ll be making memories, trying new recipes, and stirring up some serious fun!
Get ready for a cozy, culinary winter break filled with delicious creations and plenty of laughter. We can’t wait to cook, bake, and learn with your little chef this holiday season!

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.
