Color My Summer - Fruits and Vegetables


FNP staff work with youth at local health fair.

This interactive 5 week summer program is designed to excite children about fruits and vegetables. Youth explore a new topic each week. Participants prepare healthy snacks; play fun games, all while learning the importance of nutrition and physical fitness.

By the end of the program youth will learn:

· The importance of eating fruits and vegetables

· How to make simple, inexpensive recipes using fruits and vegetables

· The role of nutrition and physical fitness in a healthy lifestyle

This program is offered in both English and Spanish. To schedule this program for your school, summer camp, or other organization contact your local Extension office.
