Summer Camp 2025
Get ready for Summer Camp
Dates: June 23rd-August 8th
First things first, camp registration will open on February 28 at 6:30am. Camps sell out quickly, but here’s a tip: if your chosen camp is “sold out”, check back 15 or 20 minutes later. Any camps that were being held in the shopping cart, but not purchased, will be released. Be sure to get on the waitlist. Families’ plans change from March to summer, so there is a lot of movement. Wait list spots are released automatically.
If you would like to have access to our early registrations on February 27th consider becoming part of our Chef’s Circle and making a scholarship gift at the Fabulous Foodies level. Early Access
