STEW LEONARD'S NEWINGTON STORE OFFERS CHILDREN'S CULINARY CAMPS THIS SUMMER

WHAT:
Stew Leonard's Newington store is hosting summer culinary camps for children ages seven to 12 years old. The camps will be held every other Wednesday beginning on June 25.

Not only do the children get to taste their creations, they also participate in a "graduation" ceremony where they receive a chef's hat and medal at the end of the class, along with the recipes of the dishes they made.

Children do not need to be accompanied by an adult, although parents are welcome to observe.
