Kids' Cake Camp Information

 

We’re so happy you are joining us for Cake Camp and we can’t wait to see you!

For a few weeks this summer, campers have the opportunity to hang out and learn with Chef Tatiana of Sprinkled Sweetness. Throughout the weeks, beginning with the basics of kitchen safety and sanitation, your camper will participate in hands-on pastry classes in a real bakery!

They will use real recipes, easy enough to duplicate with the family at home and entrepreneurship strategies to start a kid-owned business.

What to Bring to Camp Each Day

Campers are not required to Lunch (if dietary restrictions prevent camper from eating communal meal)

Kitchen Approved Attire 

Campers are required to wear shorts to the knee to or pants to camp daily. Short sleeved tee shirts are permitted. Open toed shoes are NOT permitted at all. If your camper shows up in sandals, flip flops, water shoes, Crocs w/ holes etc. they will have to call a parent for replacements or be sent home. Non-slip shoes, or sneakers are the only footwear permitted. This ensures their safety. 

What Not to Bring

We strongly suggest against valuables (such as electronic games, iPods, etc.)  Sprinkled Sweetness Academy is not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged items. They are permitted to have their phones but are not allowed to use them during instruction time unless it is an emergency. 

Weapons of Any Kind

Alcohol, Tobacco or Illegal Drugs of Any Kind

Meals

Lunch is provided to your camper each day as part of tuition. Choices such as tacos, sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken fingers, etc. If your child has a special diet, or is simply a picky eater, you are welcome to send a bagged lunch for him/her from home.  Please have your child's name written clearly on the bag. 

 Beverages will be available during the entirety of the day to keep campers properly hydrated.

Safety and Medical Information

After registering your camper, you will receive a packet with Safety and Medical Information forms.  Please fill out and return the enclosed medical form; No child will be permitted at camp without submitting a fully completed and signed Medical Form.  Please fill out one form per camper.

If your camper needs to receive medication while in camp, please include instructions on your Medical Form and discuss the medication with camp staff at drop off. Please give necessary medication to camp staff at drop off in the morning.

As you can imagine, cooking-related camps expose campers to many ingredients such as tree nuts, gluten, dairy etc. If you have a camper that is unable to ingest specific food items, we urge you to use your best judgment before completing enrollment as we cannot always promise special alterations to lesson plans and recipes.

Accessibility

There is one step to get into the facility. The remainder of the facility is one floor. 

Camp Staff Information

All chef instructors, kitchen assistants and support staff have to pass PA State criminal and child abuse background clearances before they are assigned to Sprinkled Sweetness Academy summer camp.

Children With Special Needs

Please note: While we are happy to welcome all children into our kitchens for camp, we are not trained or equipped to assist children with special needs. If needed, a personal aide is encouraged to attend with the child to ensure a positive camp experience.

Behavior Management & Expectations

We want all of our campers to have fun and be able to learn in a safe and productive environment—and we certainly do not want their experiences impaired by another camper’s inappropriate behavior. To ensure this, Sprinkled Sweetness Academy adheres to a specific strategy to handle behavioral infractions that may arise during the camp day.  Inappropriate behavior will be addressed with the following escalation*:

  •     First verbal warning
  •     Second verbal warning
  •     Time out away from the activity and a discussion with senior camp staff
  •     Camp Director calls guardian(s)
  •     Camp Director calls guardian(s) and camper must go home for the day

* Depending on the severity of the infraction, steps within this sequence may be skipped and expulsion will be considered.
