Let’s grow some fun this summer! We have plenty of dirt, insects, and plants... we just need to know how they all work together to make something beautiful and often tasty! Come garden with Mr. Gruszka as you learn how to work, compost, care for, and use a garden, big or small. Handson experience and projects will allow you to take your “budding” skills beyond the garden home with you.

Unleash your child’s culinary creativity at the Junior Chefs Cooking Adventure! Designed for young chefs in grades JK - 4th, this immersive experience combines hands-on cooking, basic culinary skills, and a flavorful exploration into the world of delicious treats. It’s the perfect blend of fun and education for your budding chef!

Hey bakers, let’s get in the kitchen and make some yummy treats. We will bake a mix of things like pies, cookies, cakes, or pizzas during the week. You will be in charge of your mixing, pouring, and decorating of each dish we bake. We will even have a bake challenge where kiddos are able to pick their treat to make for the day and we will see who creates the best dish. Are you up for the challenge?
