Fantastic

“They had so much fun and want to come back next year for sure! Thank you”

— Melanie Goldenberg

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!”

  • Chrissy Gonzalez

    Our Kindergarten students visited The Real Food Academy for the first time and had an incredible experience. Not only was it very hands-on and very age appropriate, but the kids had the opportunity to make their culinary creation and dance while their meals were in the oven. Overall wonderful experience, we will definitely be visiting again.
  • Brad Hobbs

    Our son was apprehensive when we arrived. He was clinging to us balling his eyes scared to separate saying he was too shy. The staff took it upon themselves to make him feel comfortable and he finally calmed down just in time to participate. He had a blast. So much so he wouldn’t stop asking when we were going again and said, “don’t worry, I won’t cry.” We are back again today and he is full of smiles ready to have a great time.
  • Stephanie Roig

    This was one of the funniest and best experience I’ve had. They were super nice and taught you step by step. The food was amazing and delicious !!! The company and staff was amazing !! I would 100% recommend again !!! Loved every minute of this experience. Will be coming back again.
