Fun Food Friday at FitWize4 Kids

FitWize is committed to providing our youth with the fitness and nutritional skills they need to become healthy adults. One of our main activities to do just that at our childrens’ summer camp is Fun Food Friday.

Food Made Fun, and Fun With Food

Fun Food Friday is just as it sounds. During this weekly activity, we run a nutritional class that explains healthy food options and good eating habits, with more than a pinch of fun!
Our staff helps the kids try out new recipes for a hands-on supplement to what they learned in class. Kids learn a little bit about cooking: helping prepare vegetables, combining ingredients, and using kitchen appliances (with proper supervision, of course!).
In addition to learning something new and staying engaged, kids get to taste their Fun Food Friday creation. This reinforces possibly the most important lesson: that healthy, nutritional foods don’t have to be boring or bland–then can be very tasty and fun to make!
Below are some of our favorite Fun Food Friday recipes. Click the tile for a PDF of the recipe, or a video of how it’s done, for more fun and nutritional learning at home!
