Camp 2026 Registration is now open & there are still a few baking camp spots available- grab them!
Tip for registration, use a laptop or desktop rather than a phone. Make sure you have your login info/pw and make sure that your camper's birthday year is correct in our system. Email info@homecooked.net to adjust the birthday if it's incorrect.
Returning campers who attended in 2023-2025 & want to register for 2026:
1) Go to the HomeCooked Parent Dashboard and make sure you have your login info. Not sure of your password, simply click the "What's my password?" link just under the sign in area to reset your password.
2) Once logged in, choose "Enrollment" and make sure that all your campers for 2026 (ages 7-11, 12s are allowed too if they want to attend) are visible and their information is correct, especially their birthday date AND year. You may also add any new siblings who may want to attend in 2026. Campers must be age 7 as of the date of their camp session. Click "My account" and check that the parent information is correct as well.
NEW Campers: New families can register an account and set up a profile for their campers and then click "enrollment" to see options and register!
To join a waitlist click on "register your child for camp," and complete a family profile and add each child. Click enroll and the camp options will show waitlist/availability. If your child is on a waitlist and a spot opens we will email you & you will get 24 hours to accept the spot. We will NOT automatically enroll your child.
Note: HomeCooked gift cards cannot be used on our online camp registration software. If you have one it's best to pay for the session and then we can refund and apply gift card in the days after registration has taken place.
Calling all aspiring young chefs! We've got a great cooking camp for you and your family will love it too!
For 2026 we're offering two types of camp sessions:
NOTE: We have 2 agendas (set of projects/recipes) for 2026. 1 cooking agenda & 1 baking agenda, so kids can come up to 2 weeks (1 baking session and 1 cooking session) this summer and do different projects each time! If they come to 2 baking (or cooking) sessions they will be repeating the recipes from their first session.

Kids Cooking Camp
Cooking camp takes place Tuesday through Thursday for 3 hours. Each camper comes home with a ready-to-cook dinner entrée and dessert for 5 people each night! Follow simple cooking directions and dinner is done! Bonus: All entrees are freezable.
Each day features different projects/ and recipes. Topics covered include:
The campers will enjoy a snack and prepare a dinner entrée (that serves 5) and a sweet treat/dessert to bring home + a side dish.
At the end of each session, all campers take home a cookbook.
Kids MUST have turned 7 before the first day of camp and our recommended age range is 7-11 though 12 year olds are welcome (and may be asked to assist!) if they are comfortable with other campers being in the session who are age 7+. Many times 12s attend with their younger siblings.
Note: No peanut, tree nut or shellfish ingredients will be used in cooking projects. Gluten and dairy (and potentially sesame) will be used in projects.
Is your family vegetarian? No problem! Tell us at registration and we'll have vegetarian-friendly options for all 3 nights (i.e. beans or veggies instead of chicken/turkey). All sides and desserts will be vegetarian.
All entrees and desserts can be frozen and cooked later.
Think cookies, crisps, crumbles and more! The kids will be mixing up a storm.
In addition to the 3 projects each day the campers also enjoy a snack. They will bring home their projects to bake and enjoy or freeze to bake & enjoy later. Many projects can be frozen before baking OR after baking.
Past projects have included such items as:
All recipes will be coming home in a cookbook.
Kids MUST have turned 7 before the first day of camp and our recommended age range is 7-11 though 12 year olds are welcome (and may be asked to assist!) if they are comfortable with other campers being in the session who are age 7+. Many times 12s attend with their younger siblings.
No tree nuts or peanuts are used in cooking or baking camp. Gluten and dairy ingredients are used in many projects so campers with those food allergies are regrettably discouraged from attending for their safety. Note: HomeCooked is not an allergen-free facility.
We aspire to inspire kids to have an increased interest in food and cooking or baking while in a safe, fun, and confidence-building environment. We teach basic techniques and have kids do all the measuring, mixing and they create their final products.
This camp is "hands on!" This is NOT kids watching our leaders make the dishes. Some ingredients may be prepped in advance for them to use in their projects (i.e. pre-diced onions or marinara sauce). They may use items like a pizza cutter for slicing or a plastic knife for frosting a cupcake.
What's almost certain is that the campers will have fun and leave with a huge pile of delicious food projects that they created along with big proud smiles on their faces!
If you are looking for an experience where your child learns "Cordon Bleu" techniques, masters formal knife skills, or gets "standing at the stove" experience, then we are NOT the camp for you.
Cooking Camp: $309 per Camper
Baking Camp: $289 per Camper
Occasionally partial sessions are available (1-2 days rather than 3 if camp is not sold out), $100/day for baking, $105/day for cooking. Availability TBD and is only known within 1 week of the camp session.
*Food costs have escalated significantly (and our campers make A LOT of food!). If costs continue to rise camp rates may increase, so register now to lock in your pricing!
If 2 or more siblings attend the same session, we will give your family a $15 voucher to redeem for meals, dips, cookies, soups etc. from the HomeCooked grab & go cases. Vouchers will be distributed the week your campers attend. Max 2, $15 vouchers per family and they must be redeemed by 12/15/26.
Also-- Almost all projects can be frozen, so for families with siblings attending you can eat one project and freeze the others.
Waitlists: If your preferred session is booked we recommend adding your child to the waitlist. If a spot opens we will call and/or email you re: the spot and you can accept or reject it, your credit card will NOT automatically be charged until you accept the spot.
All reschedules & cancellations are subject to a $20 change fee.
Rescheduling: It is possible to reschedule a session if space allows with at least 14 days notice prior to the start of your session. Rescheduling is subject to availability of desired future session and a $20 change fee.
Cancelling: Should a registered camper not be able to attend the camp after the registration fee has been paid and the request is received before 11:59pm on 3/14/26 you can get a refund - $20 cancellation fee. If after 3/14/26 and with more than 7 days prior to the start of the session it will be returned in the form of a HomeCooked store credit - $20 cancellation fee. For cancellations within 7 days of the start of camp parents may call/email to make arrangements to pick up the food on the day following the completion of camp. Requests for camp food need to be received prior to camp or within 30 minutes of the start of camp and need to be picked up by the Saturday after camp ends at 2pm. There are no refunds or partial refunds after 3/14/26.
