About this Event
Dates: Monday, August 3rd through Thursday, August 6th
Time: 9am-3pm daily
Ages: 7-12, completed 1st grade & able to read recipes
Combo Camp gives campers the best of both worlds with baking AND cooking skills! The recipes for this Back to School camp are designed with fewer ingredients and easy “shortcuts” so you and your young chef can quickly make something delicious to take to school for lunch or enjoy at home on busy school nights.
We’ll create two recipes each day and will be sure to send your child home with the goods for you to enjoy as well! This encourages a strong sense of pride & accomplishment when they share their creations with the whole family. Your young chef will learn how to create their own “Signature” Cookie, make a Taco Ring, Pizza Knots, Mac & Cheese, and Strawberry Cheesecake Puffs to name a few!
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Kid-friendly lunches will be provided everyday with each child preparing their own dessert. Each evening, campers will be able to take home a goodie box prepared by them to share with their family. These will vary based on the day’s recipes and required bake times.
Campers will receive a personalized apron to use during camp and take home at the end of the week. They will also get a recipe booklet with all recipes from the week.
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.

POLICIES
Lunch Menu
Lunch will provided at camp each day with delicious meals kids will love! Your child is welcome to bring their own lunch if they prefer for one or all days, however the registration fee does not change. If your child has food allergies, please make sure to note them when registering so that we can plan ahead to make accommodations as needed.
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.
For your child’s safety and the safety of other children we’ve implemented additional practices beyond our usual measures for food safety and sanitization.
- Face masks are not required, but campers are welcome to wear one.
- Gloves will be available and may be worn when working with food.
- If a child exhibits ANY signs of illness, they will not be allowed to attend.
We use kitchen safety and clean-up as a learning opportunity and keep the mood fun and uplifting impromptu dance parties!
Rules & Respect
Each child is expected to respect leadership and follow the rules of treating others the way they want to be treated. If a child is not able to follow these basic rules and manners, the parent will be called and they will be asked to leave camp for the day. If it happens a second time, they will not be able to return to camp. We want to maintain a positive environment that is uplifting, encouraging, and positive.
FAQs
Who will be teaching and supervising the sessions?
Chefs Christopher and Bethany Hewitt will be leading alongside the Southern Graces & Hewitt Oaks team members. Everyone assisting with camp is vetted and known for their character and responsible nature. Rest assured that the environment will be uplifting, empowering, and encouraging as that is the heart of who we are!
Do kids need baking or cooking experience to take any of these classes?
Not at all! We welcome kids of all skill levels. In some cases, we’ll separate kids into two age groups as needed (7-9 years and 10-12 years) to keep the class moving at a pace that’s right for each age range so that all children have a great experience!
What should students wear each day?
Students can wear comfortable clothes. Because we will be working in the kitchen, closed toe shoes are required. An apron will be provided on the first day of camp for each child.
What should campers bring each day?
Campers 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?
CANCELLATION POLICY: If your child is unable to attend, please inform us as soon as possible. The registration fee is non-refundable, however, if you are able to find another family to fill the spot, we will issue you a refund once the other participant has registered in your place. You are welcome to gift the camp session to another child, and provide us with that person’s name, age, and contact information. Please do so at least 7 days prior to camp so that their personalized items will be ready for them on the first day.
