The Durango Discovery Museum is offering two programs for children this summer: “Cooking Camp with Yucky Salad” and “Anatomy, Biology, and Chemistry: The ABC’s of our Bodies.”

“Cooking Camp with Yucky Salad” takes  place June 1, 8, 15 and 22 (Mondays).

 ”Our silly friend Yucky Salad is back with what may be her most important lesson to date. Take advantage of our local resources and dabble in sustainable living. Each week, we will use fresh and local products from the farmer’s market to create a healthy and delicious dish. We will also be visited by some local professionals who will lead sessions in cheese making, jarring and canning, and more. This is a great opportunity to introduce sustainable living to budding chefs and future foodies,” the program brochure reads.

The schedule is 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. for ages 3-5 and 2:30-4:30 p.m. for ages 6-10 at Durango Discovery Kids. The cost is $90 or $75 for members.

“Anatomy, Biology, and Chemistry: The ABC’s of our Bodies” for ages 3-5 takes place June 2, 9, 16 and 23 (Tuesday). 

“A pediatric nurse friend will join us for this exciting and hands on look at the systems in our bodies and how they work. Ever wonder what happens to your food after you swallow it? Are you curious about what makes your hair grow? If so, this is the class for you!” the brochure reads.

The schedule is 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and the cost is $80 or $65 for members.
