Muncie, IN—The warm weather is a reminder that the school year is almost over and summer is on its way.  Now is the perfect time for caregivers to consider fun activities that will keep their kiddos engaged and entertained. Minnetrista is now accepting enrollment for Summer Camps, four unique day camps for kids ages 8 -14, created to inspire learning and cultivate creativity.

Glass Artists Camps

The adventure begins with the Glass Artists Camp from June 7-11. It’s a blast with glass for young artists 11-14 years old.

This camp will run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon. If this sounds like a thrilling experience for your kids, make sure to register before the deadline on June 3.

Young Cooks Camps

If you have a young foodie in your life, the Culinary Kids Camp runs from July 5-9 and is tailored for campers 8-10 years old.  Here the campers will learn how to pick and create kid-friendly recipes, experiment with authentic kitchen appliances, and expand their culinary palates.

The Junior Chefs Camp is for kids ages 11-14 who want to learn how to cook something other than boxed mac and cheese.
