"I wish I had this when I was a kid."
We hear this from parents every single day. Cooking isn't just a fun activity - it's a foundational life skill that shifts how children see themselves and their responsibilities.
Focus & Responsibility
Following recipes requires patience. Cooking naturally enforces rules in a way that feels rewarding.
Year-Round Momentum
When kids track their skills and earn badges, cooking transforms from a chore into a personal achievement.
University & Beyond
These skills compound. A 7-year-old learning to chop safely becomes an 18-year-old thriving independently.

Thinking about Summer Camp?
The math is simple. If you are planning to book a summer camp, purchasing the membership first essentially pays for itself instantly.
Does Membership Make Sense for Your Family?
Because membership is priced per family (not per child) and includes Early Bird pricing on all camps, the savings add up fast. If you have more than one child attending camp, your membership likely pays for itself immediately.
After 1 Camp Registration
Nearly pays for itself
Between the physical kit, early bird camp discounts, and birthday credit, you almost break even on your first registration.
After 2 Registrations
Membership covered
Camp discounts applied to two registrations instantly cover the cost of your annual family membership.
After 3+ Registrations
Significant Savings
You are now saving substantial money on every additional camp registration throughout the year.
"Sent both my kids 10 and 7 here for the week. Each day they came home so excited and proud to tell us about what they made/tried. The staff was kind and supportive and engaged. Each day you had to sign your kids in and out. Also the fact that you don't have to make any lunches/snacks for a week?! That's like a vacation for Mom."

What age group is this best for?
Our camps and membership track are designed for kids ages 5 to 12. Beginners start with basic safety, mixing, and measuring, while older kids tackle independent recipes and advanced knife skills.
Do you accommodate food allergies?
Absolutely. We are a strict nut-free environment. We regularly accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and other dietary restrictions. Just let us know on your registration form!
Can siblings share a membership?
Yes! The $149 Membership is priced per family, making it incredibly accessible if you have multiple young cooks in the house. (Extra aprons or journals for siblings can be added separately at a discount).
Is this a recurring subscription?
No. The Membership is a one-time flat fee of $149 for the 2026 year. There are no auto-renewing monthly charges.
When do we get our physical kit (Apron & Journal)?
Once you sign up for a COOKSMART membership, we'll collect your shipping details. Your COOKSMART welcome kit will be delivered directly to your door within approximately 2 weeks.
Do I need to attend every single camp?
Not at all. Membership works across any camp you attend. Bring your physical journal and apron to the camps that fit your schedule, and we'll track progress and add badges from there.
