HEALTH & SAFETY MEASURES We will maintain a 1:6 staff to camper ratio for proper supervision and guidance. Although our chefs will be there to offer guidance, our goal is to allow the kids to work as independently in the kitchen as possible while learning proper food handling, hand washing, and workspace sanitization procedures. Closed toe shoes are required. COVID-19 Precautions: For your child’s safety and the safety of other children we've reduced the class size and implemented additional practices beyond our usual measures for food safety and sanitization. Tables will be spaced apart with only 2 children per 8ft. tableHand sanitizing stations will be in place throughout the camp area with fun set times to sanitize!Gloves will be provided and worn when working with food.If a child exhibits ANY signs of illness, they will not be allowed to attend.The event space is a large room with double height ceilings and the building has been equipped with an HVAC sterilization systemWe will use these additional practices as a learning opportunity and keep the mood fun and uplifting with Socially Distant Impromptu Dance Parties! OUR MISSION & PHILOSOPHY Hewitt Oaks Kids Classes are sure to be a highlight of the season! We teach kids basic culinary skills while they work in small teams to cook the day’s recipes in a positive, Christ-centered atmosphere bursting with an energetic & empowering vibe. Cooking, creativity, and design is what we LOVE to do! It’s fun and a valuable life skill that is getting harder to come by. We know that “real food” is really good – it tastes delicious and we need it for strong, healthy bodies and brains. We want to inspire outside-the-box thinking and explore artistic expression in new ways. We have seen that the best way to get kids loving all things food & crafts is to get them in the kitchen measuring, mixing, chopping, touching, smelling and tasting. We believe in the power of hospitality and community — real change happens one bite at a time. OUR STAFF Hewitt Oaks is an event venue created by Southern Graces, a full-service event planning and catering company known for stunning events and award-winning cuisine. Chefs Christopher and Bethany Hewitt will be leading alongside a former school teacher & a current school teacher. In addition, we have class helpers (ranging from high school to college age) to assist the small groups and make it even more FUN! Everyone assisting with the class is vetted and known for their character and responsible nature. Rest assured that the environment will be uplifting, empowering, and encouraging — that is the heart of who we are! FAQs What should students wear? Kids can wear comfortable clothes. Because we will be working in the kitchen, closed toe shoes are REQUIRED. An apron will be provided for each child or kids can bring their own if they have one from a previous class.   What should students bring? Kids can bring a water bottle and any other preferred beverages to use throughout the day. We will provide all supplies, water & lemonade or punch, and lunch. Do you offer refunds?
