FAQS

What if my child is right on the cusp of an age group?

We’re not checking IDs! You know your child best—please enroll them in the group that feels like the best fit for their age and skill level. Our instructors will tailor guidance so every camper can participate confidently and safely.

Is there before and after care?

Yes! We offer optional before- and after-camp care for families who need extra flexibility. The hours will be from 8am to 5:30pm.   Sign up will come in April when we send out the waiver and final payment invoice. 

Is there any outdoor time?

No. Camp takes place entirely indoors, with about 7 hours a day in the kitchen and three breaks (two snacks, one lunch). If your child needs outdoor time to run and play, this camp may not be the best fit.

Do campers take home what they make?

Yes! Campers will bring home a variety of baked and decorated items throughout the week so families can see their progress and enjoy their creations.

Is this camp good for beginners?

Absolutely. All camps are beginner friendly for the age group. They are all designed for beginners as well as participants with some experience. Instruction is scaffolded so every camper feels successful and challenged at their own level.

Do campers work independently or in groups?

Campers will have opportunities for both.  While they may work in pairs for some parts of baking projects - everyone will decorate and make their own goodies to take home.  They will never work in a group larger than 2.   

What about food allergies?

We can avoid most allergens during the camp; however, we are not an allergen free bakery.  We will send out a waiver in April that will ask about allergens and we will reach reach out to you directly for clarifications about severity.  

Can my child have a phone?

We will not stop you from send a phone, but we encourage you have them keep it in their bags for the entirety of the camp, or bring it out only during lunch to check in with you.  

What should my child bring?

Everything needed for baking is provided- including aprons. Campers should wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, and clothing that they don’t mind getting messy.   Campers will also need Lunch each day.

Should we send in snacks?

You can, but we'll have some non-sweet snacks throughout the days. This will include: veggies, fruit, popcorn, pretzels and pirate booty. Don't skip lunch, though, we ask that you bring a peanut free lunch each day.

Will my child be decorating as well as baking?

Maybe. Please refer to the descriptions of each week. Decorating intensive does not have any baking, and farm to oven doesn't have any decorating. All other camps have a mix of both baking and decorating skills, giving campers a well-rounded bakery experience.
