The Chelsea Community Kitchen Kids Cooking series returns this summer with three sessions for kids to learn about healthy cooking and have fun doing it.
All classes are taught by Judy Radant and are held at the Chelsea First United Methodist Church. Adult and teen volunteers can get involved as teacher aides.
Kids Cooking Camp, with a focus on baking: Monday July 31-Friday Aug. 4
Grades 1-3 – 9 a.m. to noon; grades 4-6- 1 to 4 p.m.
Kids in grades 1-3 and grades 4-6 are invited to enroll in a single session or take all five classes and earn a Junior Chef Award. This summer’s classes focus on baking. Students will learn various baking techniques and sample the dishes they have created at the end of each class.
The class fee is $25 per day and includes all material and food.
Summer Chef’s Club: Monday, Aug. 7-Wednesday, Aug. 9
Grades 7-9: 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
This class offers more advanced skills for older kids. In this three-day series, students learn both the art and science of cooking. The class will also tour a working farm and show off their new cooking skills by preparing a meal on the final day for their invited guests.
The class fee is $150 and includes all materials and food costs.
Teacher Aid volunteers for all dates are also needed. Do you like working with younger children? Enjoy cooking and have basic kitchen knowledge?
