CARD Homeschool Baking Club

CARD Homeschool Baking Club

Two kids are happily baking in a kitchen, mixing batter in bowls and preparing colorful muffin cups.

Preheat the oven and bring your creativity! Join the CARD Homeschool Baking Club in the newly renovated Dorothy F. Johnson Center kitchen. Each week, we’ll mix, measure, bake, and decorate a new sweet treat while exploring ingredients, techniques, and the delicious science behind baking.

Along the way, participants will develop essential kitchen skills, learn teamwork, and build friendships through engaging games, crafts, and shared experiences. Each session is designed to spark curiosity, encourage independence, and make learning in the kitchen exciting and accessible for all skill levels.
