| dc.description.abstract | A pilot research study was conducted to determine if cooking camps could increase knowledge and improve habits of Native American children related to food safety, nutrition, and reported food and exercise habits. Forty Native American youth were recruited for participation in one of four kids’ cooking camps. Each child took a pre-assessment upon their arrival at camp and a post-assessment on the last day of camp, as well as a pre- and post-test for each lesson. The children participated in lessons and food preparation activities during the six hours per day, four day camp. The thirty subjects taking both the pre- and post-assessment had significant increases in physical activity and food safety knowledge. Parents/guardians provided their input through focus groups and phone interviews. Parents reported their children increased consumption of fruits and vegetables after camp. | en_US |
