Smith County 4-H Cooking Camp 2021

July 29, 2021
Youth who attended this year’s cooking camp were SunnieAntle, Addilyn Bush, Jessa Cowell, Kynlee Davis, Annabelle Dixon, Henley Dixon, Greg Dixon, Rubye Gentry, Noxx Harris, Ralynn Harris, Makenna Hassler, Camden Huddleston, Abby Purtee, and Cadence Williams.

Fourteen Smith County 4-H members met on Friday, July 16th, for our Chef for a Day Camp. Throughout the day, campers learned about safety in the kitchen, making healthy choices, and following recipes. Each 4-H’er was able to participate in making their own fruit and yogurt parfait for breakfast. Students also made three different “pizzas,” a fruit pizza, vegetable pizza, and a traditional pizza, for lunch. Campers decorated sugar cookies and competed with their team in a trail mix challenge. 4-H’ers enjoyed learning in the kitchen, trying new things, and having fun with friends.

A special thank you to Mrs. Jenkins and Gordonsville High School for helping us plan the camp and allowing us to use their facility. Thank you also to Molly Jones and Abby Malone who served as teen leaders for the day.
