Designed for kids entering 2nd-7th grade, this camp experience places an emphasis on having fun in the kitchen.

Working together, all participants will make simple, kid-approved recipes and, of course, sample the results. Be ready to cook with your kid, because he or she will come home with several recipes to help prepare, plus a whole lot of enthusiasm!
