Bradley, IL — Families in the Kankakee County area can sign kids up for a hands-on cooking experience this Friday as the Bourbonnais Township Park District hosts its “Souper Bowl” youth cooking program.
According to the Bourbonnais Township Park District, the one-hour class takes place Friday, February 6, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Recreation Station, 770 E. Franklin, Bradley. The program is open to children ages 6–11 and costs $15 per participant.
The “Souper Bowl” class is designed to introduce young cooks to real kitchen skills in a fun, age-appropriate setting. Participants will practice safe knife handling, stirring, seasoning, and simmering while learning how soups are made from scratch.
Children will sample a variety of soup styles during the class, including creamy options and veggie-packed favorites, and will also take home a recipe card so families can recreate the dish together at home. Organizers say the program focuses not just on cooking, but also on building confidence, creativity, and independence in the kitchen.
The event is hosted by the Bourbonnais Township Park District, which serves communities across Bradley, Bourbonnais, and the greater Kankakee County region, just south of the Kankakee metro area.
Space may be limited, and advance registration is required. Families can enroll online through the Bourbonnais Township Park District’s registration portal.
