We can bring the entire experience to your gymnasium, cafeteria, or outdoor field. Our modular stations adapt to your footprint.
We Bring the Circus to You.
We know organizing school-wide events is overwhelming. Sprout Circus is completely turn-key.
Fully Equipped Stations
We supply all portable cooking tools, gardening supplies, fresh ingredients, and activity materials. You just provide the space and the students.
Safe & Allergy-Aware
Safety is built-in. Every station is strictly nut-free and naturally vegetarian. We proactively coordinate with your administration to safely accommodate specific student IEPs and severe dietary restrictions.
Expert Facilitation
Our certified instructors run the stations, manage the rotation timings, and handle deep cleanup. Teachers get to observe and enjoy alongside their class.
"The COOKSMART team managed all 300 students seamlessly and left our gym spotless. The stations were engaging, and it was by far the easiest full-school event we have ever hosted."

Is the program nut-free and allergy-safe?
Yes. All COOKSMART programs, including Sprout Circus, are strictly nut-free and naturally vegetarian. We collect allergy forms beforehand to accommodate specific needs safely.
