Bake Austin

Austin · $450/week

Baking and culinary camps for kids and teens, teaching various baking techniques and recipes.

▌ Editor's read Bake Austin's website loads successfully, presenting a professional interface for its baking and cooking day camps. The camp is not accredited by the ACA. The 'About Us' page identifies Chef Lisa as the founder and lead instructor, highlighting her culinary background and passion for teaching. The program is clearly a day camp, offering various themed sessions like 'Baking Around the World' and 'Cupcake Wars' for different age groups (6-9, 10-13, 14+). The owner type appears to be for-profit, given the direct booking and payment structure. The website does not mention specific staff-to-camper ratios or background check policies. Google reviews for 'Bake Austin' show a strong rating of 4.9 stars based on 100+ reviews, with parents frequently praising the engaging instructors, fun activities, and the practical skills their children learned. Social media presence includes an active Instagram (@bakeaustin) and Facebook (bakeaustin) page, showcasing camp activities and creations.
