If you need some help with your garden, enroll your budding green thumb in this five-day gardening and cooking camp.

Kids will learn how to care for a plant from growing to harvesting, then they’ll take the day’s produce and make a healthy dish to bring home and share with their family. We’ll participate in virtual field trips with local farmers and participate in hands-on cooking experiences highlighting local fresh seasonal ingredients.

A little gardening here, a little cooking there, and your child will get experience in organic farming as well as how to prepare different types of vegetables.

Don’t worry: There’s plenty of time to play inside Explore & More Museum, hikes around Canalside, games, arts and crafts, too.

Sign them up for Farm to Fork Camp, and they’ll come back with an advanced palate and a thumb greener than yours. Think of it as an investment in your family’s mealtime future!
