JAX Cooking Studio Summer Camps are sure to be a highlight of your child’s summer! We teach kids basic culinary skills. They learn to work independently and in teams to cook the day’s recipes. Each week, we feature a different camp theme, so your child can choose the most interesting topic. At the end of each day, campers eat the recipes they prepared.

CANCELATION POLICY
When you register your child for a spot in our cooking series, we reserve one of our 18 spots for your child. We purchase ingredients and schedule the appropriate number of staff to ensure that your child has a wonderful and educational experience.

If you provide at least 7 days’ notice before the camp, we will attempt to rebook your child’s spot. If we are successful, we will provide you with a credit valid for one year which you may use on future classes. If we are not able to rebook your child’s camp spot or if you provide less than 7 days’ notice, we regret that no refund or store credit will be issued.
