When I was a kid, I loved to be in the kitchen. I would constantly mix random ingredients, hoping it would turn into something amazing. When I was 9 I honestly and truly thought I’d invented the worlds best thing. Flour, Eggs, Milk, sugar. mix and put in a pan to cook. Yes, I had invented the pancake. Some of my “creations” didn’t fair so well on the taste meter, just so you know, cinnamon in tuna salad – not that good.

As a kid I would have loved to go to a cooking camp. I found out about a great one here in Denver!

Kids love to sample as they cook, and Sticky Fingers Cooking instructors have learned the secrets inspiring young palates to explore the many delights of unique and tasty combinations of a nutritious varieties of vegetables, grains and fruits not always found on children’s plates.

The curriculum uses the thrill of cooking to expand each camper’s taste for of healthy, seasonal food, and is specifically designed to let little chefs explore and excel! While touching and tasting, campers use all their senses to cultivate a taste for eating nutritiously and seasonally abundant whole foods.

The fun, engaging and creative Coolinary cooking instructors add a sense of fun and excitement as they combine the love of cooking with nutritional information, jokes, geography, math skills and history to inspire a lifetime love of healthy family cooking! Campers will take pride in practicing a culinary skill, and will get to enjoy the fruits (or vegetables) of their labor at the end of each class.
By the end of Coolinary Camp, the campers (and their grown-ups) will have online access to a collection of unique Sticky Fingers recipes to share – and repeat – with their families at home. Note: Any and all dietary restrictions can and will be accommodated.
