Learn to make simple, delicious, and nutritious meals. We use healthy locally sourced organic ingredients to teach children about the basic fundamentals of healthy cooking and eating. Participants learn to source, cook, and eat delicious recipes.
Whether it’s packing a lunch, making a snack, or helping to prepare a family meal, these students will be prepared to support busy family life challenges with a new found knowledge and empowerment around cooking and good food!
The results are in! Here’s what kids and parents are saying about our classes:
“This camp improved my knife skills and made it more easy to bake by myself And it gave me more confidence while cooking it also made me more curious in the kitchen.” - 12 year old girl
“I really liked the camp. It helped me learn how to cook. I really liked the yoga too.”- 9 year old boy
“I really appreciate the emphasis on fresh, whole, organic ingredients and eliminating refined white sugar. My daughter remained engaged well through the camp day, and was really pleased with her increasing skills and kitchen autonomy. She got a big self esteem boost from the camp and wants to keep cooking for our family regularly.” - KP, Parent of an elementary aged child

Here’s what happens when you send your child to Bliss Belly Kitchen camp!
farm to table cooking
Can’t get your child to eat their vegetables? Research shows that children are more likely to eat a new or even a familiar food when they have been involved in the cooking process. That is our experience here at Bliss Belly Kitchen! We incorporate local, seasonal organic fruits and vegetables into every dish.

yoga and breath work
A happy belly starts with a happy mind. That's why we start each day with a yoga and meditation session to recharge the body, mind, and spirit before we enter the kitchen and make delicious food!
