Event Policies: Classes & Camps
- Dress in comfortable clothes that can get messy! Aprons are available for purchase at all classes and in our online store. We encourage you to buy one or bring your own. It's always more fun to cook in an apron!

- Classes that are "drop off" are just that. One adult per child is permitted to stay in a designated area on premise.
