Announcement: KIDS COOKING CAMP!

Announcement:

Looking for a great & fun way to introduce your kids to the wonders of creating delicious meals and nutritious food?

Joey Gates offers delicious cooking classes and day camps for kids and teens with the Sol Kitchen!

KIDS COOKING CAMP!

Cooking Camp provides an informative and entertaining way for kids, aged 8 and up, to learn about the food web, some old-fashioned and new-fangled cooking techniques as well as
how to nourish themselves and others.

Our sessions will include field trips to see where our food comes from, lessons on how the alchemy of turning ingredients into meals happens, time to begin creating a personal cookbook and techniques such as solar oven cooking, all in a close-knit and supportive atmosphere. To end the class, we will create a celebration meal to be shared.

Tuition includes all materials and is offered on a sliding scale. In-kind exchange, barter and scholarship options are available.

A note from Joey:
"My exploration of healthy cooking began at the age of 21 as I experienced the health effects of a 280 point cholesterol level. A book from a caring friend, about the joys and benefits of
eating whole foods, set me on a lifelong path of healthy cooking and living. This ultimately opened my eyes to the most basic of our connections with the natural world and I welcome others to join me on the journey. For children particularly, I have seen how important
nutrition is right from the start as we build foundations for their future health."


Private cooking lessons and birthday party classes are also available.
