Kids get cooking at March Break camp at market
The camp will be led by local chefs, who will help the children learn easy and yummy recipes, plus there will be special guests who will join the classes throughout the four days.
The hands-on fun begins at 9 a.m. and runs to 4:30 p.m., and includes a kid-sized cooking apron, recipes, water bottle, snacks and lunch each day.
Before and after-class supervision is also offered at no extra charge.
