Baking becomes especially enjoyable around the holidays and when it’s cold, and what better way for your child to hone their skills than at a dessert camp?

They’ll learn how to make beautiful and delicious snowball cookies perfect to set on the table at a family gathering. They’ll also learn how to make savory favorites like Shepard's Pie or chicken and dumplings. The ages of seven to ten years old are a great time to learn the fundamentals of food handling and preparation, basic knife skills, and how to manage the cooking process. This class will give your child confidence in the kitchen and pique their culinary interests. Get more details & sign them up here.

3. Camp Christmas

From December 13th onwards, Camp Christmas invites kids of all ages and their parents can enjoy an over-the-top holiday extravaganza. Here you’ll find a 10,000-square-foot wonderland filled with extraordinary displays delving into yuletide traditions past and present. This immersive experience features a giant indoor installation and will mesmerize your kids for a few hours. Come here to get into the holiday spirit before Christmas, or if your kid hasn’t gotten enough you can visit until January 2, 2020 for some holiday cheer.

4. Museum Takeover: Snow Day

This event marries the best of both worlds — during Museum Takeover: Snow Day kids get the chilly experience of the outdoors with snow and ice while participating in indoor activities. You can even build a snowman inside the museum! This event is open to all ages but recommended for five and older. Bring your little ones to enjoy a snow day unlike any they’ve ever seen before.

5. Swimming and Teepees

This winter camp kicks off with a swim session in Aurora's newest recreation center. Here kids can splash around in a wave pool, lazy river or big tube slide with a timer. After drying off and getting dressed, the next part of the day starts — kids will be ushered to the Plains Conservation Center, a sprawling education center where they can learn about Colorado’s ecosystems and history.
