Kids in the Kitchen offers children between 6–12 years the opportunity to explore their cooking skills in a safe environment. Offered at our kitchens at Northside Community Centre YMCA in Red Deer and Boyle Street Plaza in Edmonton, participants learn about kitchen safety, prepare delicious recipes and even get to bring their creations home, if they don't eat them before then!

Join us at Boyle Street Plaza in Edmonton to cook for yourself or your family! The class chooses the menu, the facilitator purchases the food and the group creates the meals as a team. Basic nutrition, food preparation and food safety are discussed throughout the class. Groups prepare two to three meals per session and portions can be ordered at a cost of $4 each. Participants are asked to bring their own takeaway containers. 

Classes are available on:

• Tuesdays from 1–3pm
• Wednesdays from 10am–12pm
• Thursdays from 11:30am–1:30pm
