Experience
Downtown setting inside an active food market - kids cook alongside the sounds and smells of the working market. Strong seasonal focus (strawberry, garden, holiday) means each camp ties cooking to what is actually in season. Best fit for elementary-age kids who want short, single or two-day formats rather than week-long camps.
