Agriculture Camp
At the Agricultural Enrichment Summer Camp, the
students so far, have learned many things including learned the proper techniques
for tilling soil and they even got to till the soil themselves. They went to some
farms in Bordeaux and got to see the harvesting process as well as the water
shed effect. On their trip to the farms they were also learning about proper
irrigation skills. Now, the campers are getting to put those skills to the
test. Though they are getting to learn these things, I’m sure they are having
more fun getting to do the different activities themselves.
Nutrition Camp
Doesn’t making whole wheat bread and banana bread sound like fun?
Well here at the Nutrition camp they get to do that. They make all types of tasty
meals. From stuffed peppers to carrot cake, this camp sounds like their
stomachs are having a blast. These campers made chicken alfredo but made it
healthier by using whole wheat pasta and vegetables. They also used less heavy
creams. I’m sure that these campers are
having fun. I mean, who wouldn’t want to taste these delicious meals they are
making?
Sewing Camp
At this camp youth are learning how
to make their own clothes and accessories. Boxer shorts, shorts with zippers,
small purses, and beach bags. They are sure not going to be spending a lot of
money now that they know how to make their own clothing. I would sure like to
know how to do this so I can look fabulous just like these youth. They are
doing different things and they all have different styles but whatever they
make I’m sure that they will be looking like models.
