2024 Summer Camps
Family and Consumer Science programs teach youth the life skills needed to be successful adults. The goal is to take SUEP FCS programming to the community. We aim to improve students’ ability to be successful in today’s world. To accomplish this, students will learn and use 21st-century skills through firsthand experiences and be challenged to think critically and creatively to address real-life situations while working effectively in a team. We plan to offer a wide variety of workshops including Teen Cuisine, Health, Nutrition, and Youth/Child Development. We also address Agricultural-related topics.
