The Owsley County Extension Office offered a cooking camp targeting ages 5-12 year olds. Curriculum taught was Teen Cuisine. Children were taught variety of lessons by the SNAP-Ed assistant that was shown to be useful in the kitchen.  Most participants had limited knowledge of kitchen skills. During the six week course, lessons were taught about My Plate, proper portion sizes, recipes, measuring skills, kitchen utensils, and also food safety.

At the end of each day the students prepared a recipe using the skills acquired that day. The final day of the program ended with the students preparing a meal on their own. The kids were so happy being able to eat a meal that they had prepared. The parents were also excited about the children learning helpful kitchen skills, many of them stated that, “We were glad to have help with preparing meals for the family, they now help out a lot.”
