Use library books or links to the websites below to get your information. Then you will create a 1-2 page PowerPoint presentation that will teach kid campers how to make healthy food choices. PART 2: Next, you will then be ready to develop a healthy menu of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 snacks each day for 3 days by completing 3 Nutrition Tracker sheets. You will think of an appealing way to display this menu for the campers. To create your menu display, you may use KidPix, Inspiration, or Microsoft Word. You may also choose to use collage or drawing materials to make a poster.
