Cooking Camp

An ideal learner for Run a Luncheonette Camp is a curious, hands-on child who loves to explore new flavors, ask questions, and take pride in making things from scratch. They don’t need to have prior cooking experience—just a willingness to try new things, work alongside others, and dive into the joy of learning through food, culture, and creativity. It’s a great fit for kids who enjoy sensory experiences, real-world learning, and collaborative projects with a meaningful goal.

Brooklyn Apple is located at 545 5th Avenue in South Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Apple uses a child-centered approach to education. We believe that kids should have autonomy over their education. The guide is there to lead the group, but we focus on meeting children where they are and giving them agency over their own education.

Children with ADHD often thrive in this camp’s dynamic, hands-on environment, which allows them to move, create, and engage with real-world tasks, though they may need support with transitions or sustained attention during group discussions.

For children on the autism spectrum, the camp’s routine mixed with real-life unpredictability in a bustling kitchen may offer valuable social learning but could also present sensory or communication challenges that require preparation or individualized support.

Learners with dyslexia are generally well-supported through the camp’s visual and experiential approach to instruction, though written tasks like labeling or recipes may need adaptation.

Children with sensory processing challenges often thrive at BAA because of all the outdoor play. If a student has pronounced sensory processing challenges, the loud, boisterous environment can be overwhelming so we suggest you have a conversation with us to see which program can best meet your child's needs.

Gifted children often find the camp deeply engaging and intellectually stimulating, with its real-world challenges, opportunities for creative problem-solving, and space to take initiative in a collaborative kitchen environment.

To get the most out of camp, come with an open mind, a big appetite, and a willingness to try new things. The experience is best for kids who are ready to participate in all parts of the day, from cooking and setting up to serving and cleaning. Bringing curiosity, patience, and a collaborative spirit will help your child get the most out of this unique hands-on learning environment.
