Highlights
Outing Highlights
Volcano Pasta: Learn dough basics
The week opens with the classic Italian 'volcano' method: mixing, kneading and forming dough to teach texture, flour types and essential technique—built to develop confidence in young hands.
Color Pasta: Creative science with natural dyes
Campers experiment with naturally colored dough—spinach, beet and turmeric—learning how ingredients affect dough structure while rolling and shaping vibrant pasta.
Dessert Day: Chocolate ravioli and sweet fillings
A midweek pivot turns pasta into dessert: sweet pasta dough, chocolate or other dessert fillings, and sealing and shaping techniques that expand what 'pasta' can be.
