Description

Exploring the Ancient World - 3-Day Camp (Ages 10-12)

Step back in time and explore the flavors and creativity of ancient civilizations in this immersive three-day summer camp. Young chefs and artists will journey through history, discovering how early cultures shaped the worlds of food and art.

Cook Like the Ancients – From baking rustic flatbreads to crafting age-old spice blends, campers will prepare dishes inspired by the cuisines of ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and beyond.

Create Timeless Art – Using techniques from early artisans, campers will experiment with pottery, fresco painting, and natural pigments to bring ancient artistry to life.

A Hands-On Exploration – Through storytelling, hands-on activities, and interactive lessons, participants will uncover the traditions, ingredients, and artistic legacies that continue to inspire us today.

Designed for curious minds who love history, cooking, and art, this camp is a unique opportunity to learn, create, and taste the past.

  - Culmination of art and culinary creations in a grand gallery showcase.
