Jr. Chef Cooking Classes at Wichita YMCA

Junior Chef Academy (Ages 6-12)

At the Greater Wichita YMCA, we teach kids to find their way around a kitchen and to make good food choices in a fun, hands-on setting. They gain much more than cooking skills from the experience. Children who learn healthy habits at an early age, grow up to be happy and active adults. 

75 minute class/10 weeks. Build basic culinary skills, incorporating nutrition and fun food experiments.

Includes: chef hat, apron, progress reports and a kid-prepared recipe showcase at the end of the session. 

  • Open to members and non-members 
  • Financial assistance available
