The county Family and Consumer Science (FCS) agent and county Nutrition Education Paraprofessionals (NEP) teamed up to offer “Cook and Create” to young teens in the county.  Using local media and social media to advertise the program eleven young teens participated in the three-day camp.  Using the “Teen Cuisine” curriculum the NEP assistants taught cooking skills in the morning.  The FCS agent, county program assistant and volunteers taught creative hands on projects in the evening session.  Cooking skills included: hand washing, food safety, chopping skills, frying and baking.  Creative projects included: tye dyeing, string art and sewing.  55% of those attending the camp were first time extension users.  91% of those attending reported they enjoyed the opportunity to do hands on activities with just teaching and no help.  81% reported that being allowed to use a sewing machine by themselves was a first-time experience and they would like to participate in more sewing activities.  Plans are underway to offer pre-teens and young teens the opportunity to participate in a creative/hands on club.
