The migrant population is one of the fastest growing populations in Daviess County. All youth from the migrant population in the Daviess County Public School System, grades k-8th, were invited to participate in the ELL Migrant Program called Camp Curiosity. Over 250 youth signed up and are currently participating in this month-long program at Deer Park Elementary. The Daviess Co. Extension Service served as one of the “Specials” classes for 2 days. Day 1 youth received a MyPlate lesson and created a Yogurt Fruit Smoothie and Farmers' Market Salsa using the Blender Bike. Youth learned where the ingredients in each recipe fall into MyPlate and worked as a group to make each recipe.
