Fun Genetics Fact:
🧬 STRs mean short tandem repeats. Short tandem repeats are short sequences of DNA (1 to 6 base pairs long) that repeat consecutively over and over again (like AGAT, AGAT, AGAT). Because the number of times these sequences repeat varies greatly from person to person, they act like a genetic fingerprint.

Hands-on fun extends beyond camp! The Kids Culinary Camp at Texas Native Health gave children an exciting opportunity to explore how growing, preparing, and enjoying fresh foods can support lifelong health. Each child received a take-home gardening basket filled with potting soil, seeds for tomatoes, sweet peppers, basil, and cilantro, starter basil and sweet pepper plants, and supplies to begin growing their own food at home.

By pairing culinary experiences with gardening, the Food as Medicine initiative helped extend learning beyond the camp and into each family’s home. This program was made possible through the Be the CHANGE Grant supported by the Health Foundation, in partnership with Texas Native Health and the UT Southwestern Physician Assistant Studies Program.

Sharing a meal is an expression of respect, gratitude, and reciprocity, honoring the wisdom of those who came before us while strengthening the bonds between generations. Our PA students participated in the Teen Meal Prep classes to create tasty tostadas, fresh pico de gallo, and sweet berry crisp to serve local elders. Thank you to the NCCPA Foundation for making this possible through the "Food is Medicine: A Culinary and Community Health Initiative" grant and our partnership with Texas Native Health.

We are grateful for these remarkable students and teens who served with kindness and heart. 🌿❤️ We're not done yet!
