Don't forget to sign up for this FREE family cooking class! The first class is tomorrow!

Exciting New Program!

With the 2026-2027 school year fast approaching, this fun & engaging program is fun for the whole family! Weekend tournaments & games coming up, Chef Laura has you covered!

A successful tournament weekend starts long before the first whistle blows. Athletes perform at their peak when they have balanced meals, consistent hydration, and the right snacks between games. But keeping a young athlete fueled shouldn't mean exhausting your energy or draining your wallet at the concession stand.

This class teaches families how to master the art of tournament meal prep. You will learn how to map out a weekend food schedule, pack coolers like a pro, and choose budget-friendly, nutrient-dense foods that keep both athletes and cheering sections energized from the first round to the championship game.

Due to the incredible generosity of Sanford Health Marshfield Clinic, their sponsorship of this program through the WPP Grant allows for this program to be at no-cost to attend!

Registration QR code can be found on the attached flyer, or by reaching out to the Flambeau River YMCA at 715-650-9622
