Kids Summer Cooking Camp: 8 Weeks of Kitchen Skills + Recipes

Kitchen camp at home? Done and done.

I made this for the mom who wants her kids to learn real cooking skills this summer… without having to come up with a whole plan from scratch.

This printable Kid’s Summer Cooking Camp walks kids through 8 weeks of simple kitchen skills with recipes they’ll actually be excited to make. Each week has a focus skill, a kid-friendly tip sheet, and 3 recipes so they can practice what they’re learning right away.

They’ll learn things like kitchen safety, measuring ingredients, knife skills, stovetop confidence, boiling pasta, baking basics, handling raw meat, seasoning, taste testing, and working with dough.

And yes, they’ll make a mess. But they’ll also learn. And help with dinner. And hopefully feel pretty proud of themselves along the way.

Included in this immediate digital download:

✔️ 47-page printable PDF
✔️ 8 weeks of kid-friendly cooking lessons
✔️ 24 recipes total
✔️ Weekly kitchen skill tip sheets
✔️ Parent guide with simple tips for making it actually work
✔️ Recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and baking
✔️ Perfect for summer, homeschool, screen-free activities, or just getting kids more confident in the kitchen

Recipes include smoothies, muddy buddy snack mix, turkey sandwiches, fruit salad, fresh salsa, chicken nachos, scrambled eggs, grilled cheese, creamy pasta, spaghetti, fried rice, muffins, chocolate chip cookies, chicken salad sandwiches, smash burgers, sloppy joes, roasted potatoes, biscuits, homemade pizza, homemade bagels, and more.

Print it out, stick it in a binder, tape the recipe to the cabinet, and let your kids do the things, even if it takes longer and gets a little messier than if you just did it yourself. That’s kind of the point. 😉
