"Kids Chem Cook camp was an amazing opportunity for our kids. The hands on experience was exciting for them and each day they came home eager to share their new creations."
"The excitement didn't end after camp was over either. It's now a common request to bake at home. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity!"

My daughter, 2nd grade, attended Kids Chem Cook and had a blast. She loved the fun science experiments and cooking. She now has a passion for getting in the kitchen to try new things.

"My daughters had the pleasure of attending a summer camp hosted by Kids Chem Cook this summer. To say they had a blast would be putting it lightly. They came home everyday with beautiful copies of recipes and amusing stories of the food they made during camp. As a parent, knowing camp was both fun AND educational, is invaluable. We can't wait to visit them at the WW2 golf museum!"
