A 3-day Virtual Mini Camp for 3rd - 5th Grade Students held during their Spring Break, designed to promote student health and wellness through community partnership.
Camp Theme:
Fresh From the Farm
Students received a free meal kit and engaged in live cooking classes to explore how community organizations can support healthy and sustainable living for families.
“I learned that I like healthy foods now like zucchini and sweet potato. I never tried them before. They are good!”
Students had the opportunity to cook a healthy meal, like this veggie omelette, for their entire family!
Chef Liesha of The Edible Schoolyard Project Stockton took students through each recipe, step by step, teaching students about the ingredients and various kitchen skills they can continue to use to make more meals for their family in the future.
We were able to provide over 25 families with complete meal kits so students had everything they needed to prepare three different meals for their families at no cost to participate.
“This was really fun. My family couldn't believe I made all the stuff and they really liked it too! I want to do more!”
