Super Star Chef Cooking Camp

Author: Vicki Wynn

Planning Unit: Marshall County CES

Major Program: Youth Fruit & Vegetable Access

Plan of Work: Accessing Nutritious Foods

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Kentucky kids consistently rank low in consuming fruits and vegetables. The Super Star Chef Cooking Camp (SSCCC) teaches hands-on nutrition, healthy eating, and basic cooking skills. Campers learn that healthy eating can be fun, taste good, and improve overall health. Forty children in Marshall County have participated in camp during the past two summers, and reports from parents and families have been overwhelmingly positive. One dad remarked, "Our son loves to help in the kitchen, and he has taught our family the importance of including fresh fruits and vegetables in our meals. He even enjoys helping with the family grocery shopping." Plans are to continue the camp program each summer.
