Lake Shore Public Schools

Presented by Rata2ee

Rata2ee offers a hands-on cooking camp that teaches these basics: Knife Skills; Cooking Fundamentals, Food Science & Nutrition, Kitchen Safety, Proper Food Handling, Gardening Basics, and kids' yoga. This camp teaches a very holistic approach to healthy living. Children will eat 3 meals (making their own breakfast, a 3-course lunch, and dessert), so NO PACKING LUNCHES OR SNACKS FOR PARENTS!

This camp teaches strong character-building skills and is meant for kids going into 2nd through 5th grades. Kids should be able to stand for 90 minutes at a time (with 2 small sit-down breaks), and should be ok with playing outside during non-cooking times of the camp. Items each child needs to bring to camp: a filled (non-glass) 64-oz water bottle labeled with first & last name, 2 8-oz Ziploc to-go containers labeled with first & last name; a full size beach towel, and sunscreen. Camps run from 8:45 am until 3:30 pm (3 pm on Fridays),
