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.  

Below are the current requirements for COVID vaccination for each location. 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 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.

Vaccinations are required at many of our partnering universities and venues.  Some of the venues may allow exemptions, and these will be addressed on an individual basis.  Please contact us directly so we can talk through the venue-specific rules as they relate to your family.

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. It is recommended that students enroll as early as possible to reserve their space at our premier cooking school program.  Check our FAQs or call us for further answers!

“Thank you so much for Alex’s wonderful week at campusNYC! He did not stop talking about the great experience he had, and would definitely love to return next year.  He especially enjoyed getting to know you and told me about all the wonderful talks you two had. I knew this program would be a great fit for him and I am pleasantly surprised at just how much he got out of it. He enjoyed working with the Chefs very much and made friends with many of the other campers. He is looking forward to coming back next year and said he would love to attend again.” – Take care, Nadia (2018 Parent)

“My favorite thing about evening events was visiting Chinatown and Little Italy because we get to see different ethnic cuisines and diversity.” – Olivia (2017 NYC student)

“Besides the kitchen, the movie and the Barton Springs were my favorite because they gave me a chance to see Austin and the city”– 2021 campusATX student
