Edited to add: I have since spoken with Chef Neelam who graciously listened and responded to my concerns articulated below. She advised that our experience was reflective of the growing pains the camp experienced this summer, which I hope and suspect will be addressed in future camp sessions.Original review: My daughter liked this camp fine. The cooking was somewhat elementary. As a parent I do not recommend this camp. It is too large (40+ Kids) and poorly organized. Chef Neelam was nominally present and does not lead much or any of the yoga or cooking. The staff we interacted with were inconsistent with the check-in and check-out procedures of the children that raised safety concerns for us. There was a Covid exposure during our camp session where Covid protocols were not adhered to. I hope the management and oversight of this camp improves for future sessions and that our experience was an outlier.

Bliss Belly Yoga and Cooking camp has been a nurturing and enriching experience for my daughter. She bonded with her teachers who were attentive and showed genuine care for her well being. Out of the summer camps she attended, she said this was her favorite. She has also taken initiative to cook more at home. The skills she gained in doing daily yoga were exciting for her and she felt a sense of pride in herself. We will definitely be sending her back next summer.

My daughter attended this camp this summer and had a fabulous time. She made connections and learned some great kitchen skills. Most importantly, she came home happy daily!

I wish I could attend Bliss Belly Kitchen camps. My now 12 year old kid attended Bliss Belly Kitchen camps when she was 8 years old. She learned all kinds of skills that has resulted in her ability to put on full family meals, from appetizer to dessert. Her younger sister is now in Bliss Belly summer camp - and is similarly gaining cooking and kitchen confidence. The yoga and meditation is also a great way to center the kids before they get into the kitchen. Thank you Chef Neelam.

TJ really enjoyed feeling like he contributed to a meal each day and sharing what he brought home with us. I’m so happy they taught him knife skills, which is something we struggled with cooking together. He was given a wavy knife to take home and explained the different cutting methods to me. Now we will feel safe allowing him to chop ingredients when we cook together as a family.

I really appreciate Chef Neelam's emphasis on fresh, whole, organic ingredients and eliminating refined white sugar. My daughter remained engaged well through the camp day, and was really pleased with her increasing skills and kitchen autonomy. She got a big self esteem boost from the camp and wants to keep cooking for our family regularly.

Our children have really enjoyed learning to cook this week. They have picked up some skills, and we have enjoyed cooking alongside them as a nice break from work. The yoga segment has also been very nice. Our boys have never really done yoga for any length of time before Chef Neelam's camp, and at least once or twice this week they were so relaxed during meditation that they each fell asleep on the floor! Normally we could never get them to even think about napping! Thanks for agreat week of fun and education.

Our daughter has loved learning how to cook with Bliss Belly Kitchen. She now cooks healthy meals for us often and leads us in family yoga and meditation to start our day. These are really valuable skills that will serve her for a lifetime. Thank you, Chef Neelam!

Chef Neelam's knowledge and insight into the principles of Ayurvedic cooking make this an educational and fun workshop. Each recipe was healthy and delicious, and we were given the practical skills needed to continue cooking successfully on our own. Neelam has empowered and inspired me!

I had a challenge with cooking protein rich vegetarian food but now that I have learned some delicious recipes, I am going to start having Meatless Mondays! By eating less low quality meat, I can better afford to support the humane industry and lower my carbon footprint!

My 8-year-old son and I took a multi-session weekly online cooking class with Chef Neelam while sheltering in place. The meals came out healthy and delicious and inspired us to start a weekly tradition of cooking dinner together for our family once a week.
