Greybull Rec district, UW Extension offers two-day kids cooking class

The Greybull Recreation District has teamed up with University of Wyoming Extension educator Melissa Cook and family consumer science educator Denise Laursen to offer a two-day Junior Chefs Summer Camp to develop the culinary skills of students in grades 7-10. 

Sponsored by BHSCSD#3 BOCES, the camp will run June 18-19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Family Consumer Science Room at the Greybull High School.

With a focus on kitchen safety and hands-on learning, participants will develop essential cooking and baking skills by making their lunch. Youth will gain confidence using knives through guided instruction and apply their skills in cooking up a stir-fry, soup, and salad. Participants will also learn how to make noodles for the soup. Baking lessons will include homemade biscuits and banana bread.

The cost for the camp is $5. Scholarships are available. Space is limited to 12 students. The deadline for registration is June 13 at 4 p.m.

To register or for more information, contact Heather Howe at (307) 765-9575 or Melissa Cook at (307) 568-4160.
