COMPANY HISTORY

Camp Cook's roots go back to June of 2003 when its parent company, The Suburban Concierge Company was founded.  The Suburban Concierge Company initially began helping clients to accomplish their "to-do" lists.  The company quickly expanded into party planning and catering in 2004.  Something was missing, however.

In December of 2005, company owner, Mary Aragon, decided to experiment with the idea of cooking classes and holiday camps for children.  The first holiday camp was offered on the Faith Lutheran Church campus, December 21, 2005.  Ten campers participated.  In the Summer of 2006, two church campuses hosted Camp Cook, with about 30 campers participating.  Since then Camp Cook has grown to be an exciting adventure serving all ages with a variety of programs.
