Therefore makes them the perfect candidate to attend our Camp. The FCS Agent offered Super Star Chef Camp for the first time in our county in June 2017, with the help of four wonderful UK students leading the lessons.  The sign up was unbelievable the limit of 20 was filled in the first two days with an additional 27 on a waiting list.  The need for extra activities in our area is overwhelming. When the camp started only 17 of the 20 showed up with 14 (82%) completing the camp.  Game with physical activity was also incorporated into the class, which allowed the students to unwind and interact even more.100% of the students asked for the camp to come back another year.92%   of the students improved their cutting techniques.100% of the students improved label reading.78%    of the students understood the need for physical activity in the day.After three months since the class, 8 of the students have contacted the FCS Agent and still want to attend a second Camp and are still cooking at home.  The Camp has offered students in Rowan County basic life skills to use daily.
