UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO SAFETY Safety, health and well-being are our priorities and we’ve put protocols and mandates into place to ensure every summer is a great summer. From carline and security to handling special allergies or other needs, you can rest assured that your child is in the best of care.

It was one of those programs that really empowers kids to learn culinary skills and techniques, like how to properly prepare foods, safely chop ingredients, and sauté vegetables.

He learned multiple new recipes every day—foods like gumbo, jambalaya, soft pretzels, pizza, and cheesecake (his favorite ESF Vetri recipe). The camp sparked something in him and cooking has become his passion.”
