Flour Power

Little Italy Pizzeria’s co-owner Mark McClurg came back to Camp ASCCA yesterdat for a cooking class during free-choice period! He came earlier this summer and was interviewed by PR intern Jasmine Reed. More insights into his life and what initially brought him to camp can be found here. He introduced himself to today’s group and demonstrated how to treat the dough. After adding some flour, he patted the dough, rolled it, and then spun it in the air a few times. Program staff employees helped him pass out flour and portions of dough out to every single camper and counselor to experiment with.

Flour was spread throughout each table being used and the fun began! None of the campers here today had ever worked with pizza dough before but some were pretty good at it! Some campers made perfectly round pizzas! They patted, smashed, and rolled the dough. Some of the campers and counselors even tried spinning the dough in the air just like Mr. Mark had done.

The fun with the dough turned into fun with the flour.. Campers, counselors, and program staff began patting flour on each other and the flour fight began! The flour was harmless but all over everyone’s hair and clothing. The campers and counselors had a blast getting their best friends and everyone else in the dining hall filled with flour.The dough was put on heads and designs were made with it as well.

We are so thankful that Mr. Mark was abe to come out and see us a second time this summer. Although our cooking class turned into more of a flour fight, everyone still had a blast! Check out our Flickr for more pictures of the fun and to keep up with everything else going on at Camp ASCCA!
