A 3 week summer camp for 8-10 children ranges 8-12 years of age. This camp will occur 2-3 times a week for about 3 hours a day in the afternoon. The camp will take place at a day care facility where the children come from low income families and tend to be on federal day care aid. This camp will focus on teaching the children about healthy living and healthy lifestyles. Each day when the children come to camp they will participate in a nutrition lesson, a cooking lesson and an exercise/physical activity. The nutrition lesson will be about basic nutritrion and mostly based on the food pyramid.

I would like to start a monthly day camp type event where kids can sign up to come and cook real recipes that are healthy and taste good. I want it be something affordable for the kids in my community, where low-income families are buying cheap junk food instead of making healthy choices at home. My church has a commercial-style kitchen and many talented cooks that I hope will volunteer their time to help tweens and teens make healthier choices, and give them the skills to make those choices.
