BOOT CAMPS AT THE CIA

Pack your bags and escape the everyday...come to CIA Boot Camp, for a culinary vacation you'll never forget.

A CIA Boot Camp is more than just a cooking class. It's an invigorating, inspiring, intensive experience. You'll learn to cook and bake like a professional with the guidance of our talented chef-instructors and energetic student assistants. You'll prepare and enjoy fabulous food and dine in our award-winning restaurants. And you'll meet and form bonds with fellow foodies from across the country and around the world.

Top-quality ingredients, fully equipped kitchens, and a spirited community of chefs...they're all waiting for you at CIA Boot Camp. The only thing you need to do is make your reservation.
