FAQ
Are Masks required?
Masks are optional and not required for our summer camps.
My child has food allergies. Is this class safe for my child?
Please contact me PRIOR TO REGISTERING if your child has ANY food allergies or dietary restrictions. We do not use peanuts or tree nuts in this class unless specifically noted in the class description, however my kitchen is not peanut or tree nut free and ingredients may be processed in a facility or on shared equipment with tree nuts, peanuts or other allergens. Please contact me before you register, I am happy to review ingredients with you to determine whether this camp is appropriate.
Can parents stay for class?
I kindly ask that only registered children be inside the kitchen, and no arrivals earlier than 5 minutes before and at the end of class time so I can give the students my full attention. There is a small customer pick up area attached to the kitchen where adults can wait for class to end if needed.
What does my child need for class?
Comfortable, closed toed shoes. NO flip flops or sandles of any kind are allowed. A hair tie if hair is long enough to pull back. A pen or pencil
