Special Edition Kids' Camp: Kneading and Leading (ages 13-15 yrs)

In our BAKE! kids’ classes, students experience the joy of baking and learn to be leaders in the kitchen. But now they can be leaders in their lives too! Zingerman’s BAKE! and ZingTrain (Zingerman’s Training) are teaming up to offer Kneading and Leading, a full-day summer camp for kids. It will be an action-packed week with hands-on fun in the kitchen and lively leadership learning! Kids should wear comfortable shoes and clothes that they don’t mind getting a little dirty. Lunch will be provided by Zingerman’s Bakehouse. 

At BAKE!, your child will learn foundational techniques and apply them in exciting ways. We’ll even introduce them to the world of whole grains and demonstrate how to mill them at home. 

At ZingTrain, kids will participate in lots of play-based learning that will help them on their path of growth. Games, discussion, and reflection will be used to explore group dynamics and how to effectively work together. There will be many opportunities to practice playing different roles within a group, revealing how our actions may affect others and helping us find tools to manage ourselves and make positive impacts. 

We will also look inward and build confidence in our thoughts as we start to define our own unique vision of success—a tool that will help guide your child’s decision making, long after the camp has ended. 

Your child will leave each day with an armful of fresh-baked pastries to share and a toolkit filled with personal and interpersonal skills that they can carry with them at school, at home, and into their future.
