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!"

  • Crystal Stokely

    I can’t say enough good things about The Real Food Academy. They had our broker group in for a Discovery Day, and it was awesome. I loved the hands on experience, and it was so much fun. Truly a great way to learn, and I love that their focus is on children. It’s so important to teach children at an early age. The Real Food Academy is truly making a difference in their community and hopefully they’ll have franchises in more areas across the US soon.
  • chris tucker

    I recently had the pleasure of attending a Discovery Day and Thursday cooking class at the Real Food Academy, and I can't recommend it highly enough! As a franchise broker invited along with others with the Franchise Brokers Association, I was eager to learn about this innovative franchise concept that offers cooking classes and birthday parties for both kids and adults. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the owners, Maria and Arthur. Their passion for healthy cooking and commitment to sharing delicious, real, tasty food with the community is truly inspiring. They created an amazing atmosphere that made the experience both enjoyable and educational. During the cooking class, I was impressed by how engaging and interactive the session was. Maria guided us through the process of preparing tasty, healthy meals, providing valuable tips and techniques along the way. It was evident that they are dedicated to empowering individuals and families to embrace a healthier lifestyle through cooking and their classes. What stood out to me the most is their vision of bringing real, tasty food to the masses. This franchise concept is not just about cooking—it's about fostering a love for healthy eating and creating memorable experiences for people of all ages. If you're considering a wellness and food franchise opportunity or simply looking for a fun and educational cooking class, I highly recommend checking out the Real Food Academy. Maria and Arthur have built something truly special, and I can’t wait to see how their franchise flourishes! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
