Spring Camp for Our Daughter Sofia

"Our experience with the Spring Camp for our daughter Sofia was truly exceptional. Sofia thoroughly enjoyed every moment spent at the camp. She immersed herself in learning about quality foods and exploring the art of making delicious recipes :) One of the highlights of the camp was the dedicated and talented teachers who guided Sofia throughout her journey. Their expertise, kindness, and passion for teaching left a lasting impression on Sofia. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at the Spring Camp. It provided Sofia with not only valuable knowledge but also unforgettable memories. We are eagerly looking forward to the next camp and the opportunity for Sofia to continue her culinary adventures. Thank you to the organizers and staff for creating such a fantastic and enriching experience for our daughter."

Great camp

“My son is 8 years old and he is not a big eater, very conservative, simple dishes, no interest in cooking. This camp was recommended to us by a friend. We had an idea, that working with food, cooking , kitchen kind of experience will help him feel more easy in trying new dishes and new food. My son loved camp, every morning he was rushing to academy, he told us , that he had lots of joy, he liked atmosphere and people. I was very happy to see him being so proud of himself, when he treated us with the food, he’d cooked. Registration process and communication with staff was very easy and smooth. Now I am thinking of taking classes myself.”

Amazing & Fun camp for kids!!

“Such a fun camp for kids! My daughter learned so many new skills and was very proud to come home and share what she learned (and made) in the kitchen. She even learned how to set the table for meals. It’s been a huge success. She is actually sad for summer camp to end and can’t wait to go back next year!”

Best Summer Camp

"My 13 yo son loved the camp!!! Coming from a kid who has done many specialty camps and always complains about them this says a lot. He woke up excited every day and looked forward to the day’s events. He has always had an interest in culinary skills, but he also really enjoyed the nutrition aspect of the program. He made friends at the camp and said the counselors were very nice. For me it is a win win! He learns to prepare healthy foods for us and is aware of nutrition and food labels. Maria and Arthur congratulations on your excellent program. We are reviewing our schedule to get him in more weeks! Thank you!"

    We recently had the pleasure of attending a Halloween-themed cooking class at the real food academy with our kids, and it was a delightful experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was festive, filled with spooky decorations and a warm, welcoming vibe. The instructor was fantastic, engaging with both the kids and adults, making everyone feel comfortable and excited about cooking. The recipes we worked on were creative and fun, perfectly suited for the Halloween theme. Our kids loved getting their hands dirty and exploring new ingredients, and they were thrilled to see their creations come to life. What stood out to us was how the class combined cooking skills with Halloween-themed fun. We made spooky snacks and treats that not only tasted great but also looked fantastic. It was wonderful to see our children’s creativity shine as they decorated their dishes. Overall, this cooking class was a great way to bond as a family while learning something new. It sparked our kids' interest in cooking and gave us some fantastic ideas for Halloween treats we can recreate at home. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, interactive activity to enjoy with their kids!
