The Menifee County Cooperative Extension office hosted a three day 4-H Day Camp for youth ages 9 to 14. 4-H Day Camps are multi day programs for youth to learn about 4-H core areas. The camp empowers the youth with skills that will last for a lifetime. Youth that attended participated in cooking, sewing, STEM, and water quality activities. Students cooked each day recipes that contained fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Student evaluations showed that 86% were more comfortable in the kitchen and cooking healthy recipes. 83% of participants were comfortable with using a sewing machine. At the beginning of the 3rd day parents dropped their youth off stating that their child had gotten the home sew machine out and was sewing before camp started. One male youth enjoyed sewing so much we had to unplug his sew machine during other activities. All youth in the class was able to pull Strawberry DNA and make a DNA Model out of candy. 100% of youth in attendance stated that they learned at least one skill during the 3 days. The camp will be used as a kickoff to future programs for youth programs at the office.
