Then I've got the perfect recipe for you.

Have you ever noticed how food can bring people together?

It can tell stories about who we are, where we come from, and what happened to us along the way.

It also has a unique way of sharing customs and traditions.

For example, in Japan, slurping your udon, soba, or ramen noodles is not only acceptable, it's encouraged.

In Korea, it's customary to have someone else pour your drink for you.

I could get used to that.

And in Ethiopia, eating traditional food with your hands is welcomed.

Now, listen, I love eating pizza, French fries, and popcorn just as much as the next camper.

But I'm telling you, there are so many delicious, diverse dishes out there that deserve your attention, too.

Who knows?

If you open your mind, you may just find a new favorite, say, shakshuka from Africa or banh mi sandwiches from Asia, or maybe arepas from South America.

Food has the ability to connect us all around the world, and that sounds pretty tasty to me.

So welcome to Global Food Day on "Camp TV," because variety may really be the spice of life.

See you after your first few activities.

A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

-It's baby season here at the Safari Park, and we're about to head out into the field to see which species we can find.

And you're coming with us.

Let's go, Sylvester.

The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is a multi-species exhibit and designed to mimic the surroundings of these animals' native habitats.

I am in awe of the beauty of this park, and it's hard to believe that we're still in California.

First up, we're visiting the greater one-horned rhinos.

This is little Carole.

Maybe "little" isn't the right word.

She's only 2 months old and already weighs in at about 200 pounds.

For a 2-month-old, her days are extremely busy.

packed full of swimming, playing, and eating.

And a snack for Mum, of course.

♪♪ I think it's time to continue our journey into the field and see what other species we can find.

From a strong and stocky baby to a tall and lean baby.

This is Kumi the giraffe, standing tall at 8 feet.

Even though he's only 3 months old, he's already catching up to the rest of the herd.

It's hard to believe that Kumi will one day be 16 feet tall, just like his dad.

[ Carrot crunching ] Listen to that.

Here at the Safari Park, Kumi is surrounded by many family members, most of whom know that when the keeper truck is in the field, that usually means snack time.

And today, they're not wrong.

♪♪ As much as I would love to keep feeding these guys, I'm out of carrots, and it's time to find our next baby animal.

Sylvester has told us all about a new baby scimitar-horned oryx, and I'm eager to see if we can spot her.

♪♪ Behind me here, if you take a closer look, you might be able to see the newest addition to the herd.

She's about 3 months old, and her name is Dawn.

And if you look close enough, you'll see that she's just started to grow her new horns.

And when she gets a bit older, she'll have horns just like her mum and dad.

And check this out.

If you look at the oryx from this angle, the horns appear to become one... just like a unicorn.

In fact, many people believe that the myth of the one-horned unicorn may have originated from sightings of an oryx from side on.

♪♪ The animals here in the Safari Park have so much room to roam, graze, and play.

Happy, healthy herds mean happy, healthy offspring.

-Jump, dance, play.

It's time to get active.

Let's move.

-Salsa was born in New York City in the 1960s from the musical styles and influences brought to the city from Latin America.

Salsa, which means sauce in Spanish, is a melting pot of Latin Caribbean rhythms.

You got son, guaguanco, rumba, Latin jazz, pachanga, and more all in the mix.

Here are two steps to get you dancing salsa.

Step one.

Your hips are your steering wheel.

Swing them like a hammock.

Take your right leg back.

Change your hips to the right as you step forward on your left leg.

Bring your right leg forward as your hips go to the left.

Now repeat with your left side.

Step two.

Put your weight on your left hip.

Swing your hip as you open your right leg.

Cross your right foot behind as you swing your hip back to the left.

Switch your hips to the right as you open your left leg.

Swing your hips to the left and cross your left leg behind as you swing your hip back to the right.

Now you can dance to some Hector Lavoe, Willie Colon, or Grupo Niche tunes anywhere.

♪♪ -Welcome back to Global Food Day on "Camp TV."

That last activity looked like a lot of fun.

But wait until you see this.

Have you ever heard of hummus before?

It's a dip from the Middle East, and it's one of my go-to snacks.

It also happens to be one of my favorite things to make, because all you need are your hands and a sealable bag.

Let me show you.

First, drain one can of chickpeas, saving a little bit of liquid in case we need it for later.

Then pour your chickpeas into the baggie.

Now, this next step is really important.

Make sure to squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible before closing it, like this.

No popping packs of chickpeas allowed.

Once it's sealed tight, put it on the table and smush the chickpeas until it becomes a paste.

You can use your fingers, your fists, or knead it with your palms.

So far, so good.

No pops.

♪♪ Ooh!

This is a good hand workout.

When you're done, transfer the chickpeas to a bowl.

Thank you, bag, for your service.

Then mix in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and, if you'd like, one clove of crushed garlic.

Definitely garlic for me.

Then mix it all together.

Yum.

It smells amazing.

If the hummus is too thick, add a little bit of the chickpea liquid you saved from the can.

Once everything is combined, serve your hummus with something to dip with.

I like using cut-up pita bread, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, and celery.

The choice is yours.

♪♪ Mmm.

Delicious, and fun to make, too.

See you in a bit.

Arts and crafts?

Yes, please!

Let's Get Artsy.

[ Boing! ]

[ Boing! ]

-Oh, hi.

I was just drawing some pictures of my favorite foods.

Why?

Well, I was thinking about food and art.

You know, as long as people have been drawing pictures, they have been drawing pictures of food.

Now, artists use food as inspiration for many different kinds of art.

At the Guggenheim Museum, there are many examples of art inspired by food.

Some artists painted pictures of their breakfast, while others painted pictures of fruit.

This artist, Sharon Core, took these beautiful photographs of dessert that she created, and these desserts were actually inspired by another artist.

And guess what was once growing inside the Guggenheim Museum?

That's right, tomatoes.

Tomatoes were grown as part of a special exhibition called "Countryside: The Future," and then they were picked every day and given to charity.

Talk about art that you can eat.

I love it that so much art has been inspired by food.

Imagine a museum filled with food.

What would that be like?

Hmm.

[ Indistinct conversations ] -I'm hungry.

-Me, too.

-Me, too.

-Me, too.

-Me, too.

-Me, too.

♪♪ -I love cake.

And I think I'm going to draw a picture of cake for you now.

Now, my cake is going to be three layers tall.

And of course, usually, a cake is round.

But when you draw something round at a certain angle, the circles become ovals.

I'm going to start with an oval for the top.

♪♪ Let's say you want to draw a round blue plate on a table.

Now, we know the plate is round, but when you put it on the surface of the table, you're going to tilt it so it turns into an oval.

There, it looks like it's resting on the surface of the table.

Very nice, but I think it needs some food.

How about a triangle?

That's right.

Delicious pizza.

Now back to the cake.

♪♪ Notice how when something is round, even if it's sitting on a flat surface like a table, the bottom is going to be rounded.

I'm going to add some details to my cake, maybe a little bit of frosting?

Mmm.

♪♪ And I think some decorations.

♪♪ See how it has a curve to it?

♪♪ I think this cake needs something on top.

I don't think it's a birthday cake, so... ♪♪ Maybe a cherry on top.

♪♪ All right.

I think this cake looks pretty delicious.

I wish I could share it with you.

You know, one of my favorite things about having good food is when I get to share it with somebody special.

I get to share it with a friend or a family, and it makes that food taste so much better.

I do have someone here that I can share the cake with, my friend Pencil.

Pencil, would you like a piece of this cake?

What do you think?

-Yes, please.

♪♪ Delicious.

Bon appétit.

-You know, I was thinking the layers on this cake remind me of a place, a place that I know very well.

Hmm.

♪♪ That's right, the inside of the Guggenheim Museum.

The layers of the spiral remind me of the layers of cake, which also reminds me that I have a challenge for you.

I want you to draw your favorite food.

Now, it might be a food that's really healthy, or it might be a food that you're only allowed to eat every once in a while.

But when you make that drawing, be sure to add all of the details that make that food look really delicious.

You know, all of this thinking about food has made me very hungry.

That reminds me of a joke that my dad used to say when I was a boy.

I'm going to tell it to you in my way.

Listen, you can call me Jeff.

You can call me Mr. Jeff.

But whatever you do, don't call me late for dinner.

[ Ding! ]

Thanks for sketching with me, and I hope to see you soon.

[ Kids cheering ] Wait.

Oh, there's that pizza.

It's still there.

I wonder if anybody had a chance to eat the rest of the slices.

-[ Chomping ] -I guess the answer is yes.

[ Ding! ]

But I ask you, who's ready for a... Zach Challenge?

Have I mentioned how much I love tomatoes?

All tomatoes -- big tomatoes, small tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, red tomatoes, green tomatoes, raw, dried, fried, stewed, diced, pureed.

I have never met a tomato I didn't like.

But give me a batch of freshly made Italian tomato sauce, and I'm done for.

Nothing better.

My challenge is to get this cherry tomato from my refrigerator to the pot of sauce in under 15 seconds.

Only thing is, I have to get it there by blowing it with a straw.

Okay.

15 seconds on the clock.

-3, 2, 1.

-And here we go.

Go, go, go.

♪♪ Oh!

Aah!

♪♪ Ah!

Yes!

Wow.

Mmm.

Sorry.

I couldn't help myself.

See you in a bit.

Music, dance, magic, and more.

Step right up to Center Stage.

-Osiyo and halito, musical explorers.

My name is Martha.

And today I'm going to teach you the social dances in the Southeastern tribal tradition.

Social dances are usually done in a call and response form.

Today I'll be the leader, and then you'll repeat after me.

In these dances, we usually form a circle, and then we go around and around singing while keeping a steady beat.

We're going to learn the Choctaw Drum Dance.

I'm going to teach you your part first, which is the response.

So I'll say it first, and then you'll repeat after me.

Ready?

♪ Yo a le yo ya he lay he heya ♪ [ Piano playing ] And the second response goes like this.

♪ Hey ya he yo we hey heya way he ya ♪ ♪ Hey ya he yo we hey!

♪ [ Piano playing ] And now we're going to put it all together.

I'll be the leader, and then you'll sing your responses.

The dance to this song is very simple.

You just form a circle, and you march and follow the leader.

Ready?

♪ And now we're going to teach you the Cherokee Bear Dance.

I'll sing you your part, and then you repeat after me.

The first part goes like this.

♪ Hey yo heya ta ga ney hi yo ♪ [ Piano playing ] ♪ Hey yo heya taa ga ney hi yo ♪ [ Piano playing ] And the second part goes like this.

Ready?

♪ Hi ya gnu hi ya gnu hey yo ♪ [ Piano playing ] ♪ Hi ya gnu hi ya gnu hey yo ♪ ♪ Hi ya gnu hey hi yo ♪ [ Piano playing ] The reason we call this a bear dance is because we get to act like bears.

We get to form a circle, and we follow the leader just like the other dances, only this time, we're bears.

And when we get to the long note that's sung, we face each other backwards and do this.

Let's put it all together and do our Cherokee Bear Dance.

I'll be the leader, and you'll follow me.

This one's really easy.

When I say, "Waho," you guys go, "Whoo!"

This is a round dance.

In a round dance, we form a circle, only instead of follow the leader, we're standing side by side, and we hold hands.

And then we step to the right and put our feet together.

Step, together.

Step, together.

And that's it.

Ready?

Here we go.

[ Singing in Cherokee ] Waho!

Whoo!

Wado and yakoke, musical explorers.

We hope you enjoyed learning these dances.

Now it's your turn.

Have a great day.

See ya.

-Let's discover together.

It's Science Wow!

-How do we launch things into space?

You've probably seen beautiful photos of Earth and other planets in our solar system.

Those photos were often captured by spacecraft, robotic explorers doing their work far away from Earth.

But how exactly do we send these spacecraft so far away?

Well, it starts with a rocket, a really, really big one.

Why rockets?

A spacecraft and basically everything else on Earth is held down by Earth's gravity.

However, a rocket burns fuel called propellant to push away from Earth and against gravity.

This creates a force called thrust.

A rocket needs enough fuel and thrust to speed up to at least 17,800 miles per hour.

That's how fast you'll have to get going to fly above most of Earth's atmosphere and stay in orbit.

Next, the rocket will release the spacecraft, but when that happens depends on where you're going.

A spacecraft that orbits Earth is sometimes called a satellite.

A satellite is released from a rocket at a specific distance from Earth.

There, it keeps going around Earth in a circular path, an orbit.

This happens because there is a balance between the energy the satellite picked up from the rocket called momentum and the pull of Earth's gravity.

The balance of these two forces can keep a satellite in orbit for many years.

But what happens if you want to go farther than Earth?

If you're trying to get to another planet, you'll need a fast rocket to overcome Earth's gravity, and you still need to release the spacecraft from the rocket.

But you'll also need to figure out the best time to leave Earth to get to that planet.

[ Alarm rings ] Take Mars, for example.

Every two years or so, Mars and Earth are closest together.

This is the best time to go to Mars since it will require the least amount of fuel and time to get there.

And if you want to explore even farther planets like Saturn, plan carefully.

For example, will your spacecraft want to encounter Mars or Jupiter on its way to Saturn?

But don't worry, all the planning is worth it when you end up with a view like this one.
