Campers include, from left, Evan Dickerson of Starkville; Donovan Brown of Pine Bluff, Ark.; and Eric Godwin and Christian Williamson, both of Starkville. Research has shown the importance of children's hands-on experiences with foods and consumption, especially with fruits and vegetables. MSU's Food Science, Nutrition, and Health Promotion Department offers the camp each summer.
