Kitchen Boot Camp!

Most kids think that eating is fun. They also enjoy helping adults cook. Put the two together and you have the perfect recipe for learning. Kids learn best when they’re busy and interested in what they are doing. When kids are busy scrubbing, mixing, stirring, kneading, spreading, tossing, squeezing, and pouring, they don’t realize there’s a special ingredient that you’re adding: It’s called learning!

That is what we will be doing during our Wise County 4-H Kitchen Boot Camp scheduled for Tuesday, August 21 from 10 am- 2 pm at the Texas AgriLife Extension Service Wise County office. The participation fee is $5 for 4-H’ers and $15 for non-4-H’ers.

This program is designed to teach youth, 3^rd grade - 12^th grade, that learning how to cook can be a fun and useful experience.  The Wise County 4-H Family and Consumer Sciences Task Force plans to feature the following topics: Recipe Rally, Garnishing Tips, Knife Skills, Healthy Substitutions, and Cupcake Challenge. Each 4-H’er will have the opportunity to eat and enjoy what they have prepared.

 All Wise County 4-H’ers and those who are interested in joining 4-H are invited to attend to learn skills that will lead you to success in the 4-H Foods and Nutrition project.
