Kids Cooking Camp In Broomall Open For Registration

BROOMALL, PA — How many of us headed out on our own without any real cooking knowledge?

The answer is likely too many.

But a Broomall business is looking to get kids in the kitchen to teach them essential cooking skills.

Chef Dad’s Table in Broomall is hosting a cooking course this summer for kitchen newcomers of all ages.

This summer cooking camp will be held over eight weeks, from June through August.

Classes meet from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Grace Church, 2191 West Chester Pike in Broomall.

Each week will host two age groups, and the theme of the lessons will vary by group.

Kids will learn about cooking, baking, ingredients, nutrition, current trends, cooking celebrities, and more.

In addition to cooking, camp includes arts and crafts, games, cooking contests, taste tests, theme days, special class events, and family recipe contests.

Past classes have included Cuisine Around The World, Holiday Baking classes and ABC Cook With Me (learning the ABC’s of cooking for toddlers).

"I want these kids to be able to learn not just how to cook, but kitchen etiquette and life skills to help them be successful as they grow and mature," Chef Dad's Table owner Scott Noye said. "I cater the class to different ages and what they want to learn how to make. Everything is interactive and the students are able to bring home what they make in each class to show their families, if they don’t eat it before they leave."

Noye loves to cook for his friends and family.

When he originally began, he was working with children in their homes, but has since grown and partnered with the Wellness Community Center at Grace Church in Broomall and the Kaiserman JCC in Wynnewood to host his programs there.

Registration is $520 per week for all weeks, except week three, which costs $390.
