What families say

“Coming to CIA and attending a Boot Camp turned out to far exceed my very high expectations. If you love to cook, you need to attend. If you know someone who loves to cook, gift them a Boot Camp experience. Or, better yet, attend with them!” — Peter N., Culinary Boot Camp—Basic Training

“The most rewarding aspect of my Boot Camp experiences was the feeling of advancement and accomplishment from working with such professionals.” — Dick Joseph, Boot Camper
