Outcome: Initial Outcome
Madison County 4-H hosted the Madison County Migrant Education Program for a Cooking and Craft Day Camp that taught 28 high-school age Migrant youth important life skills. Around 89% of the participants had never cooked a meal before and over 75% of these youth were also responsible for preparing at least one meal for themselves on their own each day. During the day camp the participants learned how to make a complete and healthy meal with low-cost ingredients and minimal supplies. The students learned various cooking techniques that could be used when making a variety of healthy foods. In the afternoon portion of this day camp, participants completed craft projects that included making a bulletin board and designing drink coasters. Half of the projects that were made at this day camp were also entered into the Madison County Fair so participants could be recognized and awarded for their efforts. After the conclusion of the program, students were sent home with basic cooking utensils, recipes, bulletin board, coasters, and new life skills.
