Class Theme Details
Once Upon a THYME...
In a summer camp far far away, young chefs stepped into the pages of beloved children’s books and brought the stories to life through cooking!
In our Cooks + Books camp, we’ll stir up recipes inspired by favorite tales—like rolling out fun with The Magic School Bus and cooking our way through adventures with Monkey with a Toolbelt and the Maniac Muffins! It’s the perfect recipe for summer fun: blending reading, creativity, and hands-on cooking. Kids will stretch their imaginations, try new foods, and discover that books and bites are a delicious combination!
