We can't wait to get back in the Kitchen!
Cooking Academy is currently on Pause.
We will keep you updated, so stay tuned!
CREATING CONFIDENCE & INDEPENDENCE IN THE KITCHEN!
Through demonstration and personalized instruction, our culinary staff works with young chefs to learn cooking skills, be creative, and gain confidence in the kitchen while preparing a variety of delicious and nutritious meals and snacks.
Our cooking classes emphasize kitchen safety, clean workspaces, and the nutritional value of the food that we eat.
Every class we will create new and exciting dishes, with recipes your friends will be asking you for! From the discipline that cooking requires to the delight it creates, KidSpirit's Cooking Academy will take chefs along a culinary journey to remember!
Prepare for Anything with Cooking Academy!
Cooking encourages children's thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It also helps them develop skills in counting, measuring, following a sequence, following directions, and analyzing cause and effect. With diligence, patience and supportive instruction from a growth mindset, developing culinary skills can develop a child's confidence and independence far outside of the kitchen!
Our Cooking Academy is for chefs in grades 3 to 8. During summer term, consider the grade you are about to enter. We deliver our classes at our kitchen on the OSU Corvallis campus, on the third floor of Milam Hall.
Whether your child is an independent chef or is still learning, they will develop their skills and prepare a wide variety of delicious meals, with recipes they can take home for the family! Plus of course, they'll get to eat the food they make each day in class.
