Student Safety, COVID, Vaccinations, and more.
UPDATED: January 26, 2023
First and foremost, we are committed to student safety. Our summer programs must follow all university and venue guidelines, as well as any city state or federal laws, and that includes COVID policies, which continue to evolve.
At campusNYC, proof of COVID vaccination is required by both our kitchen and our residence hall. We do not expect that to change in our NYC program; you can find non-vaccine-required Summer Culinary programs in campusDEN and campusATX at our other Summer Culinary programs. We will update this page if policies change in the lead up to camp this summer, and we will be in communication with our registered families as we get closer to camp if needed or if anything changes.
Summer Culinary successfully held our summer programs in person, and on-campus, in NYC in 2021 and 2022. We will continue to monitor the situation related to COVID, along with the evolving public health guidelines and best practices related to hosting events and residential summer programs in 2023.
Payment Plans and Cost Structures: We can work with you on your payment plan. Enroll by paying the $1,000 deposit; after that we allow you to pay as much as you want, whenever you want, with no additional fee as long as the program is fully paid before your session starts.
Enrollment process: Admission to our cooking school is rolling and subject to closure upon the program reaching maximum enrollment. We do not require letters of recommendation, transcripts, essays or pictures of previous culinary masterpieces. Applications will be accepted until a week before the program begins, or when the program fills, whichever occurs first.
Waitlist and sold out session status at our culinary summer programs in NYC:
We have been sold out, with a waitlist, for the last 2 summers, and before COVID, and basically every summer before that. So if you have a young chef and this program speaks to you and your family, please register while you can!
Want to check if a session is sold out? Check the register now button (HERE) and look for your session and type, if it is sold-out it will say so; there will be easy to spot the waitlist sign-up. We will update this website with that information from time to time; the best information is found in our reg system.
Sessions begin to sell out in March.
ZOOM Q+A Information Sessions:
For interested parents before camp: From time to time we will offer Zoom session to inform families about the program, meet staff and answer questions. Sign up for our mailing list and free recipe program to be sent the info automatically! Join the list by clicking HERE.
For enrolled families: As we get close to camp we will offer Zoom sessions just for registered families to meet and greet and answer questions. We will email you about this in the late spring.
“Actually, thank YOU! That parent info/Q&A was the first time in two years that I have left a “school meeting” feeling more positively about a program. In any event, my thanks to you and your colleagues for the bright spot of hope. Quinn and I are both super excited for the time he is going to spend with you, and I am already hoping that future summers might include even more of it! VERY best wishes” – Elysabeth (2022 Parent)
