While your family’s recent plans may have been impacted by the pandemic, there’s still a way for your kids to enjoy a fun, engaging camp in the dog days of summer! And best of all, it is FREE. Here’s the deal: Our very own queen of 30 Minute Meals, Rachael Ray, is hosting a Yum-o! Cooking Camp powered by the Food Network & Cooking Channel New York City and South Beach Wine & Food Festivals, and all kids are invited to attend.

Starting on Thursday, July 30 and running daily at 2 p.m. EST/11 a.m. PST through Friday, Aug. 14, this virtual, interactive experience will be ideal for kids 8-15 years old, but everyone is encouraged to check it out. Each day’s class will be hosted by a different chef, celeb or lifestyle guru — think all-stars like Bobby Flay, Molly Yeh, Alex Guarnaschelli, Kardea Brown and Duff Goldman — and run for 45 minutes on Zoom. Just like you, these culinary sensations are staying at home a lot more these days, so they’ll be broadcasting live right from their kitchens. You’ll be able to interact with them and ask questions in real time as you’re following along and prepping dishes. And yep, the whole camp really is free!
