Camp PlayWELL offers a fully-immersive health-science experience where children actively practice healthy habits through cooking, gardening, and exploring body systems in a unique educational park.
Poe Center Camp PlayWELL: Culinary Creators offers an immersive experience where elementary-aged campers become "junior chefs." The program focuses on hands-on activities that teach essential kitchen skills, food safety, and the exploration of diverse foods and preparation techniques. Campers will learn to follow recipes, understand general kitchen safety, and cook nutritious meals, drawing ingredients and inspiration from various cultures. Beyond the kitchen, the camp integrates broader healthy living themes, including nutrition, gardening, physical activity, mental health, body science, and community health. Participants will explore the farm-to-table journey of food and engage in unique physical activities and games, alongside hands-on lessons about how body systems function and connect. The camp aims to empower children to make healthy choices that will last a lifetime.
A typical day involves hands-on cooking and gardening activities, interactive lessons on body systems and nutrition, and engaging physical activities and games, with lunch provided.
This camp is ideal for elementary-aged children interested in cooking, gardening, and actively learning about healthy living and how their bodies work.
