These campers participated in a second week pilot FoodMASTER program at ECU’s School of Nutrition. They learned where food really comes from – they ground the wheat to have flour to make the dough for pizza! Math & science incorporated into cooking fun!

Week 1: Advanced Level camp included experiments and testing, digital photography, GPS & navigation, geocaching, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, seining, ferry ride from Hammocks Beach State Park to Bear Island, marshland exploration & fun in the ocean for Boys & Girls Club youth who attended last year’s camps.

Week 2: This group continued on with a FoodMASTER camp at ECU – picking fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden, preparing food in the culinary kitchen, learning about food and nutrition.

The Upstream Downstream Connection summer camp will pilot test 2 additional camps. The first 2 week campers will spend 1 week at A Time For Science and then go for a second week at East Carolina University for the FoodMASTER Summer Science Camp sponsored by the National Institutes of Health Science Education Partnership Award.
