My 2 boys went to Kids cook summer program last year and had an amazing time. The best part was seeing them so proud to have designed, prepared and served the camp graduation dinner meal to me! Highly recommend this experience for any kids that watch the Food Network incessantly, like mine do!

I went to a "For the Love of Food" Camp last summer. I absolutely loved it!!! My cooking skills improved and my love of cooking increased tremendously. I hope to come back this summer for more fun and cooking!

Kids Cook! week-long programs culminate with a gala Graduation Buffet, prepared by our budding chefs, to which parents are invited.

Cooking is the ideal way for children to develop team building, problem solving and communication skills, which serve them well throughout their lives.

(... Don't tell them, but it's also a terrific way to improve math and reading skills while having a blast as well!)

For the 2009 summer season, the cost for a week of memorable Kids Cook! experiences for your child is only $365-425, (after discount) depending upon the chosen week, including lunch!

Children prepare their own lunches or desserts (pastry class), so you won't have to!

Kids Cook! Summer programs meet daily, Monday - Friday,

10 AM to 3 PM in Reisterstown, Maryland

If you crave ethnic foods, then you're in luck, as Baltimore, and the surrounding areas boast a wealth of pretty good ethic restaurants.

Save your money for a plane ticket, and come travel with us as we explore some pretty exotic places...

We'll visit Japan, and make various types of rolled Sushi (Maki), Miso Soup, Chicken Yakitori, Vegetable Tempura, Edamame, and Jap Chae (StirFried Glass Noodles); China ~ Hot & Sour Soup, Sweet & Tangy Tangerine Spareribs, General Tsao's Chicken, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Steamed Chinese Dumplings; Mexico ~ (authentic Mexican food!)

*Due to general differences in maturity and social development between boys and girls, exceptions are usually not made to our age policy.

If you have an autistic child, please be sure to let us know at the time of registration. To ensure your child, as well as all the other children in the group, get the full attention he or she deserves, we want to be sure we have no more than one special needs child per session.
To that end, we also require that each autistic or special needs camper be accompanied by a full-time aide or assistant.

If you have more questions or to register call
