  • Jairo Riveros

    A Fantastic Experience! Barbara had a wonderful experience at The Real Food Academy Summer Camp. What I loved most is that this wasn’t just a fun activity—it gave her new skills, greater confidence in the kitchen, and a genuine interest in preparing and enjoying healthy food. And just as importantly, she made some great new friends along the way! And I’m already seeing the results at home! She has offered to make me breakfast and has already prepared a great salad for me. I have a feeling this is only the beginning, and there is much more to come from our new chef! ??‍? The team at The Real Food Academy does a fantastic job of making cooking fun, educational, and practical for kids. As a parent, it’s great to see your child come home excited to put into practice what she learned and eager to experiment with food. Thank you to Maria and the entire team for giving Barbara such a memorable experience. I would highly recommend the camp to other parents, and we will definitely be back! Five stars from both of us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
