More Than Just a Kids Day Camp,

It’s a Learning Adventure!

Our day camps don’t just teach science and cooking—they help kids:

  • Gain independence and confidence by learning to make their own meals

  • Improve social skills through teamwork and group activities

  • Explore STEM in action with exciting edible experiments

  • Develop curiosity and creativity in a fun, hands-on environment

  • Extend the experience at home—each camper receives a take-home instruction sheet detailing the activity or recipe they made, so they can recreate the fun at home with family

  • Enjoy what they’ve created—kids either eat their creations on site or take them home to share (and show off!)


These thoughtful extras help reinforce what they learned and keep the joy going well after your kids summer camp ends.
