Healthy habits childrencan actually use.
Nutrition education works best when it is practical. Kraken Academy is developing youth and family programming that helps children understand how food affects energy, growth, performance, recovery, concentration and long-term health.
In active development
Final program dates, ages, instructor credentials, facilities, fees and registration will be published when approved. Community kitchens and qualified instructors are the two pieces this program is waiting on.
Planned topics
- Nutrition basics for growing children.
- Sports nutrition and fueling.
- Hydration.
- Healthy snacks and simple meals.
- Meal planning.
- Reading food labels.
- Balanced habits without extremes.
- Cooking demonstrations and hands-on learning.
- Family nutrition workshops.
How it may be delivered
Programming may include workshops, camps, demonstrations, family events, hands-on classes, sports-team education, and partnerships with qualified nutrition or culinary professionals and suitable community kitchens.
If you are a dietitian, nutritionist, chef or culinary educator in Southwest Florida — or you run a kitchen that could host a family workshop — this is a program that would move faster with you in it.
