Frequently Asked Questions

About Summer Camp

Click the + symbol to reveal answers to the questions.

No.  Sending your camper to our cooking camp with food would be like bringing sand to the beach! Campers will prepare breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack daily.  Immediately upon completing the booking, we will contact you to find out if we need to be aware of any food allergies or restrictions.

No.  All Payments and Deposits are non-refundable: When a payment or deposit is made, that day and time is no longer available to other customers on our calendar. For that reason, all payments and deposits are non-refundable.

In the case of a cooking class, the ingredients are shopped for and prepped in advance.  Staff is also scheduled according to the number of people on the roster.

If it's one thing we are fully aware of at The Real Food Academy (especially summer camp) is that older kids don't want to be involved with younger kids. Not only will we not put older kids with younger kids, we will always have younger children with kids their own age and will always be participating in activities that are suitable and safe for their age.

All the recipes prepared at The Real Food Academy are easily accessible from our website at https://therealfoodacademy.net/our-recipes/

You can simply type the name of the recipe in the search field to find the recipe your are looking for. If you can't remember the exact name...no problem. Just type in the main ingredient and you will quickly receive a list of all the recipes that include that main ingredient.

If for some reason you require a printed copy of the recipe, please request it from the chef and they will happily provide it to you.

My kids love coming for a week every summer. They come home daily with delicious recipes, sample food they’ve prepared, confidence in their broadening cooking abilities, and healthy cooking tips! We’ve known the owners since my daughter had her third bday party with them and now she’s almost 14!

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!
- Michelle Buendia
