Public schools nationwide have dropped practical courses such as home economics and shop. But kids to still learn useful life skills like cooking this summer.
At Foothills Art Center in Golden, kids ages 7 to 12 can enroll in a full-day Sewing for Summer camp, offered the last week in July. Somewhere between the time when I was hand-sewing a pillowcase in my low-tech, middle-school classroom and the arrival of TikTok shorts, public schools nationwide dropped practical courses such as home economics and shop.
Of course, when it comes to useful life skills, few things rival cooking. In addition to my pillowcase, I also learned to bake cakes, make lasagna and, weirdly, cook fish in the microwave . As Sticky Fingers Cooking founder and CEO Erin Fletter put it, “It’s about so much more than cooking. The kids are truly immersed in every aspect of learning to make delicious food from scratch as they read stories that inform recipes, taste new flavors, hear new languages based on recipe origins, and engage in crafts related to each dish.”
, which typically specializes in adult cooking classes, is hosting four week-long camps this summer: two for kids ages 8 to 12 and two for teens. Classes, which explore the fundamentals of either cooking or baking, begin at 9 a.m., with students making their own breakfast, and end at 2 p.m. as they enjoy a chef-prepared lunch.
