This is a cooking camp you attend with your kids. For four nights in early August, The Essex Kitchen's chef instructors take parents and children through knife skills, homemade pasta, baking and a farm-to-table meal, with the whole group capped at 12 guests so nobody is stuck watching from the back.
Out of the kitchen, the schedule includes visits to local farms, s'mores at the fire pit, pool time and a movie night with popcorn. The price covers the room, breakfast every day, select lunches and dinners, and all of the classes and activities.
It is $2,000 per person with a $750 non-refundable deposit each, and the balance is due at check-in. Kids need to be at least 8 and come with an adult, with a minimum of two guests per booking. With only 12 spots, a family or two can fill it, so call 802-878-1100 early.
