Youth who are interested in preparing food and learning where food comes from will have a great time at the Seed It and Eat It Culinary Camp being held by Currituck’s Center for North Carolina Cooperative Extension.

This camp is for youth ages 9 to 14 and will be held April 3 through 6, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Tuition for the camp is $50 and includes several field trips to local farms, lunch and snacks each day, and goodies to take home.
