Foods of the Midwest
June 10–12, 2025
For kids entering grades 6–8 in the fall
Join us on a culinary adventure! Kids' Culinary Academy 2025's theme is Foods of the Midwest. Our executive chefs, sous chefs and registered dietitian will inspire your imagination and encourage your creativity as you create foods that highlight the rich history and diversity of our region. Following the theme of Foods of the Midwest, participants will gain cooking skills, learn to make classic Midwestern cuisine, be inspired by the food of our region, and learn dishes to share when entertaining in the future!
While learning food preparation skills is the main ingredient at Kids' Culinary Academy, each session will also add a heap of kitchen safety, a scoop of etiquette, a pinch of menu planning and laughter to taste.
At Kids' Culinary Academy, imaginations are free to run wild as kids discover math, reading, health, time management, food chemistry and social skills through our hands-on camp!

- 3 days of hands-on cooking instruction and practice
- Learn from UW-La Crosse chefs
