C.H.A.M.P. Camp 2015 (Children's Healthy Activity and Meal Planning) was a huge success this year! Dietetic Interns and MA students provided an awesome learning opportunity to 24 kids about healthy eating and physical activity. They taught the kids that cooking meals and eating healthy can be fun and easy. The campers really enjoyed the experience and will take these skills with them forever!
