Boot Camp Spotlights

CIA Boot Camp is a one-of-a-kind experience. Participants come from all walks of life to not only learn fundamental culinary skills, but to gain confidence in the kitchen and to feed their passion for food. Some Boot Campers come to celebrate special birthdays or anniversaries, others come to rekindle relationships, and still more come to bond with family and friends. See what your fellow food enthusiasts have to say about their Boot Camp experience...perhaps you will be inspired to take the journey too!
