HealthBarn
USA®, the leader in proven healthy-lifestyle education for children
and families, knows how important the benefits of healthy living can
be for the entire family. The Young Harvester’s program, for children
ages 6-15, offers a one-of-kind, hands-on experience to work on a farm
and learn nutrition through fresh seasonal food. During the fall,
winter, and spring seasons, the 12-week, after-school program delivers
the consensus of scientific evidence related to food and nutrition,
physical activity and self esteem development through an authentic farm
adventure. HealthBarn USA offers a weekly parent workshop to emphasize
the importance for the family to develop a healthy lifestyle and make
it stick. These workshops give parents the knowledge, skills and recipes
they need to succeed at supporting their child’s newly learned
habits. Summer Camp at HealthBarn USA, held weekly for children ages
5-15, includes gardening, harvesting, nutrition education through cooking
and games, arts and crafts activities and all-natural snacks and lunch.
The Seedlings program, for children ages 3-5, is designed to engage
in physical activity, participate in preparing new recipes with natural
whole foods and visit the garden to experience fresh, seasonal produce.
The 10-week curriculum is offered weekday mornings and early afternoons
during the spring, fall and winter seasons. School and Scout field trips,
ages 5-15, enables teachers to integrate the healthy-lifestyle experience
into science, math, social studies and food science curricula and helps
scout leaders present the experience as a challenge for a bead, patch,
pin or Try-It. Adult and Teen Workshops offer a continuing series
of practical, cutting edge and in-depth workshops (for groups, minimum of
4) on such topics as supermarket shopping, meal planning, weight and
exercise, anti-aging, natural beauty and much more. The workshops
are 1 1/2 hours long and include educational handouts, cooking demonstrations,
tastings, new recipes, and a healthy-lifestyle take-home bag. For

on the path to health and happiness!
