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.
