Collapse ▲EFNEP Brings Camp Cook Play to Southeastern YMCA Campers at Barn at Rock Creek
This summer, more than 75 Southeastern YMCA campers and staff took part in Camp Cook Play, a hands-on nutrition and wellness program led by Angie Lawrence, Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) Nutrition Educator, with support from Carolyn Habib, 4-H team member—both with N.C. Cooperative Extension. 
Hosted at the Barn at Rock Creek over several days, the program blended cooking, nutrition education, and active play, giving campers practical tools for building healthier lifestyles. Campers prepared simple, budget-friendly recipes while learning the importance of making smart food choices. Each session also featured interactive games and movement-based activities that highlighted the balance between healthy eating and staying active. 
“Camp Cook Play is a great way to show kids that healthy food can be fun, tasty, and easy to make,” said Lawrence. “When children get involved in cooking and movement, they build skills that carry into their families and communities.” YMCA camp staff joined in the sessions, learning alongside the youth and reinforcing lessons so they can be shared beyond camp. The Barn at Rock Creek offered a welcoming space where campers could engage, explore, and thrive. Lawrence has spent more than 15 years working with youth and families in Brunswick County through 4-H and EFNEP with N.C. Cooperative Extension. Her passion for teaching healthy eating, exercise, and stress management has positively influenced thousands of young people and caregivers across the county.
Together, 4-H EFNEP and the Southeastern YMCA are helping shape healthier futures for youth and families across Brunswick County.
