Kickoff for Kids 2024

This year we have exciting opportunites for kids of all ages at the CHEF Kickoff.  Please read below and sign your child up for the appropiate session.  Of course, kids are always welcome to sit quietly with their parents during the breakout sessions

CHEF KICKOFF FOR KIDS: CHILDCARE FOR AGES 3 MONTHS - 4 YEARS

CHEF will provide childcare for young children ages 3 months up to 4 years during the kickoff.  Childcare will start at 8:30 and continue until all of the breakout sessions are finished at 12 noon.  Parents will then pick up their children and grab free lunch in the fellowhip hall and take time to visit the vendor hall.  Register for childcare during the main kickoff sign up. 

CHEF KICKOFF FOR KIDS: SUPER-AWESOME MINI-SESSIONS FOR AGES 5-11! (10am-11:55am)

How do FREE FABULOUSLY FUN mini sessions for children ages 5-11 sound?! In addition to our many informative sessions for parents during the kickoff, we are also offering these fun mini-sessions to ensure that parents can relax and enjoy, knowing that the children are enjoying their own, as well.

Bonus: We’ll be dividing the children up in groups, allowing each of them to partake in all sessions, in rotation… compliments of our generous vendors! Due to limited supplies, spaces are limited, so register now to save your child(ren)’s spot! HERE

Your children will sit with you during the opening general session and then will go to their sessions when you go to your sessions.
