School breaks offer kids the chance to unwind and give them ample time to enjoy beloved holiday traditions with friends and family. If you’re stuck working during school holidays, it can be tricky to find something fun and engaging for the kids to do throughout the day. Fortunately for us, Boulder’s family-centric community provides plenty of activities to keep your little ones busy during any day off of school. Here are some Winter camps around Boulder through the holiday season.
Boulder Rock Club
This esteemed climbing gym offers engaging and safe programs that help get kids interested in rock climbing. Enroll your little ones in one of Boulder Rock Club’s various camps taking place throughout winter break and they’ll benefit from lessons on equipment safety and climbing techniques. Classes are held from 9am – 3pm so you can rest assured that your loved ones will be well looked after and tired at the end of each day.
Food Lab
Children will love getting their hands dirty while learning everything they can about cooking delicious meals in the kitchen. Over winter break, Food Lab is hosting a variety of classes each day that involve step-by-step instructions on how to cook tasty meals that they may take home and share with the family.
Starting in January, Food Lab will also offer after-school classes. Through March 2020, participants will meet once a week after school to learn their way around the kitchen by creating delicious and nutritious meals using fresh ingredients. Lessons vary and children may sign up for “Fundamentals of Cooking!”, “Touring Asia”, or “Flour, Sugar, and Water”. No matter what they choose, your kids will walk away with knowledge of food safety and prep techniques, in addition to the confidence to take on new projects in and out of the kitchen.
