Scarlet Kids, an initiative of the Rutgers Psychology Child Development Center, is a summer camp for children entering first through fifth grades. The camp, located at the New Jersey Institute for Food, Nutrition, and Health on Cook Campus, keeps kids engaged throughout the summer months with a variety of activities and NJHKI is thrilled to offer stimulating and fun nutrition lessons. Each summer, IFNH Student Ambassadors and NJHKI Interns develop and administer weekly nutrition literacy lessons that range in topics including food composting, animal and plant proteins, whole grains, and healthy nutrient portions. IFNH Student Ambassadors lead campers through activities that encourage food curiosity and introductions to new foods they may not have previously seen or eaten.
