The Greenup County Extension Family & Consumer Sciences Agent and Snap Ed Assistant partnered with the Greenup County 21st Century Program to assist in educating youth during summer day camps. The series of camps lasted four weeks ranging in themes from The Amazing Race to Shark Tank. The camps are designed to enrich reading and math skills during summer break in creative ways. During the camps students were involved in hands-on experiences to enrich these skills.
The Greenup County Family & Consumer Sciences Agent and Snap Ed Assistant partnered to teach the youth knife safety skills, kitchen safety, measuring skills, how to read a recipe, handwashing, and the basics of smoothie making. Sixty Seven students participated in the enrichment sessions provided by the Extension Office. Each week the students built on their skill and on the last week created their own smoothie recipe to take before a panel of judges. The Extension Office compiled all the recipes and created a cookbook for each student to share with their families.
Each student stated that they were glad that they had participated in the camp and had gained information that they had never learned before, and had put their new knowledge to use. One of the students stated “she had never even tried a smoothie before this camp. The next week she had been grocery shopping with her mom to purchase supplies to make them at home.
