What families say

“It was awesome cutting, pouring, mixing and squeezing!! I learned to cut things in many different ways!” — Sam 13

“I loved this program, it was a ton of fun and I learned a lot of things. I liked that we all participated in everything and all got to switch areas (chopping, BBQ, hot area, cold table), I can’t wait to come back next summer!” — Kacey 11

“I really enjoyed learning about many types of food. I liked how we had our own aeons and binders that contained every recipe for every dish we made. The class was not huge but also wasn’t extremely small. I liked learning everything…but my favorite part of the program was making the Flan Caramel of course!!” — Anastasia 13
