LimeTree Camp Programme: Knowledge -- Cooking and Eating -- Sports and Movement

In the morning, the children will learn in interesting ways about the effects of food on our bodies and our health. We will explore the origins and production of the foods we eat and their effects on the environment.

Over lunch, we will prepare with a professional chef from the restaurant tibits, healthy, delicious and simple meals from different countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. The children will learn cooking skills and experience the beauty of cooking with fresh and healthy foods.

In the afternoon, the children will engage in physical activity and explore sports from different countries. They will increase their body awareness, strength and flexibility through soccer, Capoeira, Afro-Dance and Yoga.

On the last day of the camp, parents and child care providers are invited to join our lunch, enjoy their children's new cooking skills and a delicious meal together.

Each child will receive at the end of the camp an apron and the LimeTree cookbook, including food facts and the recipes of the meals they cooked during the camp.
