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 & 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, serving 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!

This year Kids Cook! will offer one week specifically geared to younger children, aged 8 to 10!! If you have younger kids who love to cook, this is the week for them!

For the 2010 summer season, the cost for a week of memorable Kids Cook! experiences for your child is only $400-450, depending upon the chosen week, including lunch!

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

Early Savings - Register by January 31^st & Save $25 off @ week!

Kids Cook! Summer programs daily, Monday - Friday,

From 10 ^AM to 3 ^_PM in Reisterstown, Maryland
