Kids Summer Gardening & Cooking Camps

Are you hoping your child will have time to learn, play, explore, and grow this summer through hands-on experiences that shape healthy habits for their life?

Then these camps are for you!

 

Food Explorers (ages 4+)

Each day of camp, your child will be exposed to an immersive environment that helps them learn to like new foods through all five senses. Ashley will walk your child through plant life cycles, allowing kids time to dig, independently study, and together learn about where food comes from.

Moving beyond the garden beds, kids will be invited to prepare a fun and healthy snack each day - using the ingredients they hand-picked from the garden! Ashley will show your child age-appropriate cooking techniques and tools, so that your child becomes more eager to explore healthy, new foods like fruits and vegetables!

Ashley gives children an opportunity to truly learn and grow in their love and knowledge of fresh foods. Utilizing STEAM-based principles, each day of camp offers your child the chance to build problem-solving skills, practice analytical thinking, express intellectual curiosity, and come up with creative solutions using real food!

Through gardening and guided cooking activities, your child will gain confidence developing life skills that truly shape a healthier future.

 
 

Camp Details

LOCATION: private residence/home garden in Weston Lakes (address will be shared privately with participating families)

TIME: Drop off begins at 9am. Pick up begins at 11:30am.

SAFETY DETAILS: Myself and another early education specialist will join together to teach each group of children (for max. of 1:5 parent:child ratio). The camps will take place outside in the fresh air my private residence. This will give us time to explore the at home garden plus have access to water, bathrooms*, and gardening + cooking supplies. We will have shaded canopies to provide coverage from the sun as well as fans going in the garage for added shade/refreshment. There will be no access to the pool or nearby water, as such areas will be locked and without child access.
