Enthusiatic campers returned for Day 2 which posed questions about Food!
- What is local food?
- What is a food mile?
- Why is buying local food important?
Campers also learned about product packaging and discussed how to make informed choices about packaging. Rounding out food day were other hands-on activities-harvesting farm fresh carrots and blood oranges, making orange juice for snack time, building garden boxes, and planting lettuce seeds to take home.
