A teacher at the school volunteered her time to stay and help with the club each session.
Using recipes from the SNAP-ED recipe list, the youth learned how to make Fruit parfaits, fruit sushi, fruit smoothies, and competed in a Cookie Decorating competition for the final session. They received SNAP-ED items and a recipe book to take home. They were also given 4-H enrollment forms and other 4-H information about day camps.
