FAQ

Can you accommodate food allergies?
HOG will make every effort to provide reasonable substitutions for items that present a possible allergy concern. Any guest with severe or life-threatening food allergies should avoid attending the camp as cross-contact with various allergenic substances is possible in a common kitchen. Campers with other dietary or religious restrictions should make their preferences known when booking the session. Most restrictions can be accommodated such as vegetarian, dairy-free, and kosher.
Can a child attend only certain dates, rather than the entire week?
Participants will not receive partial refunds if they are unable to attend all classes in the session. Reservations may be transferred to another camper.
Can parents attend?
Our camps are designed to give campers an opportunity to work and learn independently and with their peers. Therefore we ask adults to leave their campers under our care during class (if necessary there are many nearby shops/restaurants to spend a few hours). Adults are welcome to join us on Day 5 for the final hour of camp.

What if my child is late or needs to leave early?
Each class will begin and end on time and each camper is required to attend all sessions and stay for the entire period. Campers must have transportation arranged at the end of each day. Hands On Gourmet (HOG) staff are unable to accommodate early drop offs, after-care or arrange transport for campers
