COOKING UP CONFIDENCE 

DISCOVER OUR SPECIALIST COOKERY COURSE

Cooking is more than just following a recipe. It is a brilliant way for children to build confidence, learn practical life skills and enjoy working together. At SuperCamps, our Specialist Cookery course gives children the chance to get hands on in the kitchen while having fun and exploring new flavours. 

Whether your child already loves cooking or is keen to give it a go, our cookery sessions are designed to be inclusive, engaging and confidence boosting. 

What Is the Specialist Cookery Course 

Our Specialist Cookery course is designed for children who enjoy creating, tasting and learning through food. Across the day, children complete multiple recipes, developing skills such as measuring, mixing, following instructions and working as part of a team. 

All ingredients are included, and activities are carefully planned so children can cook safely with clear guidance from trained staff. 

Around the World Cooking in 2026 

In 2026, our Cookery course takes children on a journey around the world. Each day introduces recipes inspired by different countries and cultures, giving children the chance to explore new tastes and traditions. 

From sweet treats to savoury favourites, children will prepare several dishes throughout the day, building confidence and curiosity as they go. It is a fun and creative way to learn about the world through food. 

A Taste of Camp Cooking at Home - Mini Churros With Cinnamon Sugar

To give families a flavour of what our Cookery course is all about, here is a simple camp inspired recipe you can try at home together. 

Mini Churros With Cinnamon Sugar 

Serves: 2 to 3 

Makes: Around 10 to 12 mini churros 

Ingredients 

125 g plain flour 

Half a teaspoon baking powder 

A pinch of salt 

25 g melted butter or plant based spread 

175 to 200 ml boiling water added gradually 

500 ml sunflower oil for frying 

50 g caster sugar 

One teaspoon cinnamon 

Method

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. 

In a jug, combine the melted butter or plant based spread with 175 ml boiling water. 

Pour into the flour mixture and beat quickly until smooth and thick. Add more water if needed. 

Rest the batter for ten to fifteen minutes. 

Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and spread onto a tray. 

Heat the oil in a deep pan to around 170 to 180 degrees. The pan should be no more than one third full. A cube of bread should brown in around forty five to sixty seconds. 

With an adult handling the hot oil, pipe short lengths of batter into the oil using a star nozzle. 

Cook for two to three minutes, turning carefully, until golden and crisp. 

Drain on kitchen paper and roll in cinnamon sugar. 

Serve warm. 

Vegan Option 

To make this recipe vegan, simply swap the butter for a plant based spread. All other ingredients remain the same. 

Cooking Safely With Children 

Safety is always our priority, both at home and at camp. When cooking together, children can help with measuring, mixing and coating, while adults manage the hot oil and supervise closely. Talking through kitchen safety helps children build confidence while learning important skills.
