C.H.E.F. Camp “Creating Healthy Enjoyable Foods” (C.H.E.F.) provides youth cooking camps in several parishes throughout the state. The C.H.E.F. camps are designed to teach youth basic cooking principles and nutrition education based on the USDA’s, “MyPlate” Food Guidance System and Dietary Guidelines. Each day, participants will work together to create an entire meal while learning healthy eating and physical activity principles, food preparation, kitchen and food safety, common cooking terms, proper food handling, measuring techniques, critical thinking and team building skills, planning and time management.
