About
Sticky Fingers Cooking Classes and Camps for Kids offers cooking classes, summer cooking camps, before and after school enrichment cooking programs, online cooking classes, private cooking events, kids' birthday parties, Girl Scout and Boy Scout cooking classes, family cooking classes, corporate team building events, and mobile cooking classes. Instructors teach kids cutting, stirring, measuring, and nutrition using hands-on cooking activities and internationally inspired recipes. The program’s mission statement is “Thyme to Turnip the Beet on What Kids Eat!®” and it offers online, at-home, and in-person options.
• Ages: 4–18 years old
• Schedule: Hands-on sessions run 4–18 weeks, with many sessions between six and 14 weeks, and one-hour classes commonly offered 2–5 pm on at least two weekdays for 6–8 week sessions
• Price: Tuition ranges from $16.50 to $22.50 per class, per child, paid by parents or guardians.
Sticky Fingers Cooking Classes and Camps for Kids states that no kitchen is required and that all that is needed is a room with an outlet and proximity to a sink, and the program provides everything else. The program notes that it is 100% school safety compliant, offers flexible scheduling, and has no cost to schools, with easy class registration that includes free online enrollment, payment collection, and class roster organization, plus marketing materials for schools or groups. Every family has access to an online recipe collection, and discounts are available to parents who volunteer in class, with a limit of two kids per family.
Classes are led by ServSafe-certified instructors who have FBI background checks, and all instructors have background checks, fingerprinting, and insurance. The program describes its offerings as award-winning programming and reports that 99% of schools invite it back year after year. It states that over one million students nationwide have taken its classes and that it is now serving grades pre-K–12.
Sticky Fingers Cooking Classes and Camps for Kids invites community groups to bring its cooking programs to libraries, camps, churches, or troops so kids can learn how to make and enjoy tasty, healthy, fun food. The organization is actively growing, looking for new opportunities to expand, and is seeking experienced teachers and/or chefs for part-time Chef Instructor positions, with serious applicants required to complete a background check. The program states that Sticky Fingers strives to provide the best service with every contact and that becoming a Sticky Fingers Cooking Chef Instructor is a way to make a difference in the community.
Parent and student comments include kids expressing pride in making dishes themselves, asking for seconds and thirds, and discovering they like ingredients such as celery and vegetables in ravioli. One parent from Texas reports “successful cooking and eating” and that their daughter is proud of herself, while parents from Colorado describe their children cooking entire meals at home and enjoying gluten-free cooking. A parent of a child with type 1 diabetes thanks the program for making cooking and eating a joy again for their child. Instructor testimonials describe students trying foods such as tofu piccata, watermelon poke, kale ravioli, and even raw kale, and note moments when kids discover they enjoy vegetables they did not expect to like.
