Cooking & Baking

Cooking and baking at Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Camp: campers gather at the stove as the camp chef shows them how to prepare a dish

Cooking and baking at Berkshire Hills: hands-on recipes, a real kitchen, and plenty of taste-testing.

Campers cook in our bistros alongside our chef. Younger campers start with simple, fun recipes, while older campers take on bigger challenges at the stove.

For campers who can’t get enough, Culinary Camp offers a full summer built around cooking.

Cooking and baking with our chef

Campers measure, mix, and cook side by side, learning kitchen skills they can use at home, and then share what they made with their friends. It’s one of the most popular ways to spend an activity period at camp. Recent favorites include hand-rolled egg rolls, eggs cooked on the stove, and fresh baked cookies!

Cooking and baking are part of the camp schedule, alongside time with their cabin, evening programs, and camp-wide events.

Activities include: Cooking, baking, lessons with our chef, recipes for every age, Culinary Camp
