HEALTH & SAFETY MEASURES We will maintain a 1:6 staff to student 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. Face masks are not required, but campers are welcome to wear one.Work stations will be spaced apart with just 2 kids seated at each 8 ft. long table.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.We 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 Summer Camps are sure to be a highlight of your child’s summer! 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. ABOUT HEWITT OAKS Hewitt Oaks is an all-season, full-service venue for weddings, events, and retreats.
