Meriden YMCA

Join us to cook up some fun! This camp will give participants a hands-on cooking and baking experience, teaching children that cooking is creative, full of discovery and a whole lot of fun! Children will be creating both a sweet and savory dish each day, so no lunches need to be brought to camp.

After cooking at the Y Arts kitchen, campers will return to Mountain Mist and participate in afternoon activities with their age-appropriate groups. Bus will leave from Mountain Mist at 9:15 a.m. to transport children to activity then return back to Mountain Mist between 12:00 - 12:30 p.m. for lunch and afternoon activities.

Please let us know if your child has any food allergies or dietary restrictions when you register for Cooking Camp. We will do our best to accommodate their needs. Max of 10 campers.
