My 6 year old daughter attended three of the Young Chefs Academy Culinary Camp sessions this summer. She had an absolute blast and came home every day excited about the recipes they prepared and the friends she made! We even made some of the recipes at home (the vanilla cupcakes were delicious!).Kristens team was organized, engaging and friendly. Communication was excellent and daily check ins were a breeze. We also greatly appreciated the safety standards put in place.My little chef cant wait to take more classes at YCA this fall!

The Kids had a great time. There was a birthday party for a 6 year old, and the chef’s taught the kids how to bake from scratch cupcakes. They got to decorate 2 cupcakes the way the chef’s wanted them to bake them, and 1 final cupcake the way the kids wanted them. My kids had a great time, and the cupcakes tasted great!

My son celebrated his 6th birthday here yesterday. We did the pizza party and it was his best party yet! It was a total of 11 of us and we all had a great time! The chef that instructed us had a great personality and the pizza was quite yummy. I loved not having to set up or clean up for once! They took care of all that! We are looking forward to celebrating with them again next year!!!!

My daughter, her friends and cousin had a blast celebrating her 6th birthday with a pizza party. Our teacher, Holly, was very friendly and did a great job teaching and entertaining the kids. YCA makes it super easy. We just showed up with cupcakes and balloons. We opted for their favor bags which included a spatula type tool, measuring spoon and recipe book. They provide plates, napkins, cups, and drink. Highly recommend.

Attended my sons friends birthday party here. All the kids had a really fun time! The Chefs kept a room full of 3 and 4 year olds engaged, interested, and happy for the whole party, which is quite an accomplishment for that age group. The kids loved making their pizzas and cupcakes. The facility is very clean (not something you get very often for small childrens birthday parties!) and I enjoyed the privacy that the set up allowed for the party group. Would definitely return.

If I could rate my experience 0 stars, I would! My daughter had her 10th birthday party here. It was a big deal for her to be turning double digits. We booked this location last minute and they were able to accommodate us, a party of 10 children. The instructor who was leading the class had the driest personality I’ve seen work with kids in all my life. I was so embarrassed. One parent commented, that the atmosphere was similar to a funeral and if she hadn’t seen with her own eyes, she would of never guessed children were in the room. It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. There were opportunities for the kids to take turns mixing and creating the cupcakes. I loved this, however, there were times my daughter was in the back of the line when SHE was the birthday girl waiting for 10 other children to take their turn before she was able to participate. In a regular environment, I don’t mind but when it’s your birthday, we all expected more excitement and celebration surrounding her. My niece was late but her space was still paid for. The instructor never acknowledged her or even gave her cupcakes, she sat there watching the other children decorate cupcakes. I had to bring it to the instructors attention! My niece told my sister that the instructor was rude to her, again completely embarrassed. Please hire people who enjoy working with children if you have birthday parties for children. Go somewhere else! Not worth your money!
