Reviews & Testimonials
Real stories from the parents and teens who have lived the campusNYC experience.
"My 12 year old Sam loved campusNYC. He came home with a new inspiration to create in the kitchen. The camp was able to accommodate Sam's dietary restrictions — I was worried it would inhibit his ability to participate and it did not. He is already talking about coming back next year! Great experience overall!"

"This camp changed my son's life for the better. He was able to find a community of adults and students that shared the same passion he had for cooking and food. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive. Not only did they have a great time in the kitchen and learning, but did fun activities in the evening to bond and create an inclusive environment. He did 1 week of camp and already wants to go back for 2 weeks next year — and maybe even travel to NYC or LA!"

"Our son attended the campusNYC camp last summer for one week, and he loved it so much that he signed up again this year. Our son learned so much about culinary arts, and his knowledge and skills in the kitchen now are far above what we could ever have hoped for! And, more importantly, he had a BLAST! He said working in the kitchen from 10am–6pm was exhausting, but fun, and he wouldn't trade it for the world! The residential camp experience was also incredible. The dorms were comfortable, and the camp counselors were fantastic! They did an amazing job fostering a close sense of community amongst the campers. Our son made so many friends, and really had the experience of a lifetime. He will definitely be back next year! I highly recommend this camp!!"

"My daughter learned to be more expressive as she described what their dishes included, her leadership and team skills were enhanced. All that and the food she brought home to sample were great bonuses!!"
