Gastro Kids Camp 2.0 (ENG)
The TABLE Budapest kids’ camp is not a typical summer program – it’s a true culinary adventure where children don’t just learn how to cook, but also make new friends, play, laugh, and explore some of the world’s most exciting cuisines in just one week. 🍽️💛
Mornings are dedicated to themed cooking classes (Spanish tapas, Italian pasta, Vietnamese classics, fine dining potato techniques, and brunch favorites). After cooking, we enjoy lunch together, followed by engaging afternoon experience programs. 🎯🎬⛳️
The highlight of the camp is a special closing dinner evening, where the children prepare a real “mini fine dining” menu – with both meat and vegetarian options available. ✨🍽️
