Kid Cooks & Crafts - Fall 2025

Kids Cooks and Crafts is a fun and interactive 3-session series designed for students in grades 1-6.

In this engaging program, kids will develop essential skills in food handling, preparation, and safety while enjoying creative craft activities. Each session includes hands-on cooking time, a craft project while waiting for creations to cook/bake, and learning to clean up workstations.

All materials are provided, but for safety, participants must wear closed-toed shoes and have long hair pulled back. Remember, learning can be messy, so wear clothing that’s okay to get dirty!

All sessions are held at the Hamel Recreation Center's Demonstration Kitchen, 5 Edgewood Rd., Durham, NH. Additional information regarding program drop off and pick up will be sent via email from the program staff the day before the session begins.

Campus Recreation does not provide refunds for Kid Cooks.

Click the '+' on your desired registration block(s) to enroll. Review the Online Registration Instructions before enrolling for the best outcome. This includes instructions for creating a Family or Student/Individual account.

Family Accounts are recommended for enrolling multiple children from one family in any UNH Youth Program. If you already have an account in our system, you will be asked to log into either a Family or Student Account after adding the program to your shopping cart. Be sure to use the username and password for the type of account you wish to log into. We recommend attempting to log into the Student or Family account before enrollment opens as this will minimize difficulty and time while enrolling. Email youth.programs@unh.edu if you require assistance recovering your account information. Do not create a new account if you have one already.

If you don't have an account already, you can set up an account at any time, even before you begin the registration process. If creating a student account, the account profile should be in the name of the participating student, but the email should be that of a parent/guardian. Review the Online Registration Instructions before creating a new account.

UNH has partnered with CampDoc to quicken the enrollment process. Enrollments and payments are done here through our current enrollment system, but no registration questions will be required at that time. Those will be completed through the CampDoc supplemental software.

Within a few days of enrolling, the email address provided on the student/family account will receive an invitation or reminder email notification from “University of New Hampshire via CampDoc.” Due to very brief timelines between enrollment and the program start date, it is important that a parent/guardian respond to the CampDoc email and complete the registration questions promptly. Even if the student already has a CampDoc account, a parent/guardian will need to log into the student's account to complete any necessary questions for this program, and to review and re-sign some waivers. 

A participant’s CampDoc profile must be 100% complete before they can attend the program.

If you need help logging into CampDoc, call the support line at 734-619-8300, option 2.
