Looking for a meaningful way for your child to spend school breaks?
Life Plus School Break Camps transform days off from school into hands-on culinary adventures where students cook, create, explore, and build real-life skills alongside new friends.
Whether it's Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, or Summer Vacation, every camp combines professional cooking instruction with creativity, teamwork, cultural exploration, and plenty of fun.
More Than Childcare
Our camps are designed for parents who want more than simply filling the day.
Parents choose us because camp should be more than supervision—it should be an experience that helps children grow.
Every session is intentionally built around experiences that help students develop confidence, independence, curiosity, and practical life skills while creating restaurant-quality meals from scratch.
Students spend their days:
Preparing complete meals and desserts
Learning professional culinary techniques
Exploring foods and traditions from around the world
Building teamwork and communication skills
Playing interactive games and culinary challenges
Making new friends in a small-group environment
Every day offers something different.
Camps Throughout the Year
We offer engaging camps whenever school is on break.
Thanksgiving Break (registration open)
Celebrate the season with holiday baking, family favorites, comforting classics, and festive treats while learning the techniques behind Thanksgiving traditions.
Winter Break (registration open)
Warm up the holidays with international comfort foods, seasonal baking, festive desserts, homemade breads, and winter-inspired menus from around the world.
Spring Break
Celebrate fresh ingredients and global flavors through exciting new recipes, baking projects, and creative culinary challenges.
Summer
Our signature week-long culinary adventures feature immersive themes, global cuisines, advanced cooking techniques, outdoor excursions, guest chefs, and unforgettable experiences.
By the end of the week,
campers aren't just bringing home recipes.
They're proudly telling
stories
about the foods
they created,
asking to cook dinner at home,
trying ingredients they never imagined they'd like,
and leaving with friendships
that began around the kitchen table.
