This article presents a study that explored the implementation of a "Say Yes to FCS" Teaching Camp, a local community initiative in Texas, to address the critical shortage of family and consumer sciences (FCS) teachers in secondary schools. Aimed at incoming 9th- and 10th-grade students, the 4-day camp offered hands-on learning experiences across various FCS-related secondary courses, mentorship from local FCS educators, and insights into the diverse career paths within the field. Despite not significantly increasing the participants' interest in pursuing the FCS teaching profession, the camp was positively received, prompting interest in FCS-related high-school courses. In addition, this study emphasizes the necessity of evaluating the camp's success and adjusting strategies to ensure this initiative increases participants' interest in pursuing an FCS teaching profession in the future.
