KIDS' TEST KITCHENKids’ Test Kitchen is on a mission to get young eaters cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients! Let’s continue to redefine kid food; one lesson, and one child at a time! In this clinic, your eaters, working together, will prepare entrées, fun snacks, and side items whose key ingredients are known to be really good for us! During this intensive, we’ll focus a bit more on learning practical cooking skills, while finding fun ways to enjoy the produce of the season! We will use every second of our time together! Along with cooking and tasting, which will be the emphasis, we’ll also take short breaks to burn up some calories and flex our brain muscles – digging a bit deeper into the world of nutrition with fun activities. Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe.

Space for the program is extremely limited. Dates: Saturday September 7th-October 19th (no class 10/12)Time: 10:00a-10:45aLocation: Forges Field (83 Jordan Rd)Fee: $82 per child (includes NFL Jersey)5-6 Year Old LeagueThe 5-6 year old league is structured a little different than our older leagues.
