Masa Map! Much of Latin American cooking is naturally gluten-free, relying on corn, beans, and tubers rather than wheat! We’ll dive into the world of masa, learning how corn is transformed into dough and used in beloved dishes arepas and tacos from across the Americas. Along the way, campers will discover regional flavors, traditional techniques, and how culture, geography, and history shape what ends up on the plate.

During Baking Week we’ll of course whip up traditional treats—but the oven can do so much more than dessert! Campers will learn foundational baking skills while making both sweet and savory dishes like biscuit pot pie and chocolate almond cookies. Expect hands-on mixing, measuring, and plenty of delicious results to share.
