During this camp you will learn about different topics
in foods such as measurement, food safety, vegetables,
fruits, milk and cheese, eggs, fats, grains, and meal
management. Camper will get to explore food, prepare,
cook, and eat it! At the same time you’ll learn fun and
exciting (food) science facts and a little bit of mathematics
and problem solving skills. You will go home with recipes
and activities to share with your family and friends.
