2020 Summer Camp Registration is Open!

In every Cookology Summer Camp, young chefs learn essential skills to prepare and execute delicious meals of varying themes. Throughout the multi-day camps, our professional chefs will train your child in proper kitchen safety, knife and heat skills for appropriate ages, and a multitude of techniques that will stay with them forever.

Munchkin Camps (Ages 5-7)

If you’re looking for something for you 5-7 year old to do during the summer, we have the perfect option for you called Bootcamp for Munchkins! IF YOU HAVE PICKY EATERS, CONSIDER THIS CAMP! Trying new things to eat with peers tends to encourage even the pickiest of eaters to take at least one bite. And when kids are involved in making an item, they see for themselves what goes into their food.
They’re all highly suspect of us adults… So we encourage them to do it themselves – every dish!
Check out the Munchkin schedule below for the entire Summer:

We will create and print real nutrition labels online, and they will pack up the dishes to take it home.
