a bit more information...
Our camps are welcoming to kids with or without cooking experience. We meet youngstirs where they are and work from there.
Our camps are designed for children ages 9-14.
Every day starts with a well-balanced snack and ends with a meal. In addition to learning all about cooking, the youngstirs are definitely well-fed.
We're big on safety. The first day of camp begins with a deep dive into kitchen safety, and safe practices are a recurring priority throughout the week.
While we try to avoid the use of common allergens, our facility is far from allergen-free. If your child has common and/or severe food allergies, Youngstirs probably isn't a good fit for him or her. Feel free to call us if you have any uncertainties.
Our classes are very hands-on and interactive. The youngstirs typically work in pairs for each activity, and our instructors give them plenty of independence.
Each youngstir will receive a binder with recipes, notes, and tips + tricks.
