The holidays are coming, and that means your little darlings will be home and making you crazy…I mean, keeping you company. If you would rather get them off the couch and out of the house, however, there are several great camp options this winter.

Cooking at Cuccina: Around the World in 8 Plates

From Dec 27-31, Pingo Space is hosting a cooking camp at the professional chef's kitchen inside Cuccina for children aged 6-14. Through the unique power of food, students will learn about different cultures from around the world as well as some basic kitchen skills such as weights and measurements, basic knife techniques, and of course health and safety guidelines. They will learn recipes and record them in a secret recipe book while also developing their own original recipes with "mystery box challenges." It will all come together on the final day as they cook and serve a meal to family and invited guests. The camp runs from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and costs RMB 7,588, though there is a discount of RMB 388 off if you book before the end of November. Spaces are limited as the camp can only accommodate ten little chefs. For more information and to sign up, contact Jennifer at the QR code below.
