Cooking-centered summer camps are also available in the summer. 

YMCA cooking classes teach important skills in a fun and collaborative environment. More importantly, cooking teaches valuable life skills and students will learn math and language skills while developing comfort and confidence in preparing meals. Involving children in cooking and meal planning empowers them to make healthier choices that can last a lifetime.
