Teen Spring Culinary Camp

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies, including cancellation, at the bottom of this webpage.

Drum roll please… Now presenting 18 Reasons’ Teen Spring Culinary Camp! 

All culinary enthusiasts, ages 13-18, are invited to attend the spring edition of our beloved teen camp. Whether you don your apron on the daily or you simply want to make a great burger, this four-day camp is the perfect opportunity to level up your cooking game. Along the way, students will make four nights of meals for themselves and their households while gaining confidence navigating all nooks and crannies of their kitchens.

Our spring camp is designed both for students who have taken classes with 18 Reasons before and those new to the platform, though the skills will be slightly more advanced than the more basic versions we offer.

NEXT STEPS

Where can I join from?

Due to the virtual nature of this class, we welcome participants, ages 13-18, from anywhere in the world! Students will login to Zoom on both days of class where they will cook from the comfort of their own kitchens with a chef instructor and facilitator to support them.

Are ingredients provided?

Pantry ingredient kits (students will need to acquire perishable and fresh ingredients separately) are included in the ticket price ($40), if you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area a kit will be available for pickup prior to class at our location, 3674 18th St, San Francisco, CA, on Monday, 3/29 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. If you are not local or would prefer to procure your own ingredients entirely, you can provide the $40 as a tax-deductible donation or request a refund in that amount. A comprehensive list of ingredients and equipment will be provided to registrants one week prior to class.

How can I register?
