Durham Parks and Recreation invites youth between the ages of 8 and 12 to join an exciting and interactive nutrition workshop at the W.D. Hill Recreation Center. Taking place on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, this engaging session is designed to make healthy eating both fun and practical. Throughout the event, participants will explore the basics of MyPlate and balanced nutrition through age-appropriate lessons that empower them to make better food choices.
The afternoon features a delicious healthy taste test, a hands-on cooking demonstration where children can practice simple culinary techniques, and an active movement break to keep everyone energized. This unique program provides a fantastic opportunity for children to develop essential life skills while enjoying a supportive group environment. Every attendee will walk away with helpful nutrition tips and a take-home recipe to share with their entire family.
