The Fine Print

1. Kitchen appropriate attire is mandatory. Please make sure your camper is wearing closed-toed shoes or socks and sandals, and has their hair tied back. 
2. Campers will be having their creations for lunch - our program is designed for the campers to enjoy the fruits of their labour; therefore, you aren't required to pack them any snacks or lunch (yay!). 
3. It is recommended they bring a reusable water bottle to fill at our water stations throughout the day.
4. We know you love photos of how much fun your camper had. At the end of the week, we'll send you a link to download photos from camp (excluding campers who do not wish to be photographed).
