Chefs in Motion

Chefs in Motion is an overall wellness program that combines running/walking and cooking to give youth the opportunity to participate in non-competitive physical activities with a nutritional cooking component. Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome. This season is limited to 15 participants per age group.

The program will run on Saturdays from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM for nine weeks. Class begins October 10th and will continue until December 5th. Each Saturday, the participants will start by engaging in physical activity to promote regular exercise and overall health. The class will then move into the kitchen where students will learn about cooking techniques as well as nutrition and health-conscious decision making.

Running/walking: Participants will run/walk as a team with the goal of completing the distance equivalent to a marathon over nine weeks of activity. Each individual will chart their first 23 miles over the course of the season and receive free entry into a KidSpirit community 5K event to reach the 26 mile mark to complete their marathon.

Cooking: Through hands-on activities, participants will learn the art of recipe preparation, kitchen skills, safety, menu planning, and grocery shopping. Participants will also learn the importance of a healthy diet and well balanced meals by preparing their own meals. Parents/guardians are encouraged to attend and participate with their child/children.
