Community Culinary School Offers Kid’s Summer Cooking Classes

The Community Culinary School announces kid’s summer cooking classes. The “Cooking as a Life Skill” sessions will provide children with skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. This enriching, exciting, and healthy summer experience will allow each child to get the most out of their summer break.

Utilizing cooking as a creative outlet, children will gain an understanding of basic cooking techniques and nutrition, which can lead to a healthier and happier self. Classes will also include safe food practices.

“We’re very excited to be able to offer children’s cooking classes in addition to our job-training program. This summer, your child will learn delicious and fun to prepare recipes for snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert including kid-friendly, healthier versions of some of their favorites,” said Dawn Hammacott, Executive Director of the Community Culinary School.

The summer classes include two 5-day sessions: August 8-12 and August 15-19.  Classes for children aged 6-9 will be held from 9:30am-12:00pm. Older children, aged 10-12, will have class in the afternoon from 1:30pm – 4:00pm. Tuition is $175 per child. Early registration is encouraged due to small class size.

To enroll your child, please contact the school at 203-512-5791 or visit communityculinaryschool.org for more information.
