We encourage campers to wear shorts or pants and t-shirts. Campers should wear closed-toe shoes such as sneakers. No open-toe shoes, sandals, crocs, or flip-flops allowed. No spaghetti strap shirts or bathing suits.
Campers will have aprons to wear while at camp, but stains from ingredients are possible so do not have campers wear special clothing.
Long hair should be in a ponytail, bun, or pulled back to reduce the chance of hair getting into food.
Campers should bring a labeled water bottle and a labeled reusable bag to camp each day.
HomeCooked is a facility that uses ingredients that contain peanuts, tree nuts, soy, dairy, gluten, seafood, and other allergens. If a camper has an allergy, we will do everything we can to avoid the camper coming into contact with it, but cannot offer a 100% guarantee.
Regrettably, we deter campers with gluten or dairy allergies from attending as projects often include ingredients with those allergens. We apologize for any inconvenience.
During summer cooking camp sessions, birthday parties or off-school day workshops, we do not use peanuts, tree nuts, or seafood in our projects. However, they may be found in our facility. Gluten and dairy products are used extensively in our summer camps.
Kids with gluten or dairy allergies are unfortunately discouraged from attending those sessions for their safety and enjoyment.
We love taking photos of our campers having fun at HomeCooked! All photos/videos taken during camp remain the property of HomeCooked.
They can be shared with campers (electronically) if desired and may be used on HomeCooked’s website, Facebook, Instagram, or in future advertising or other materials. Names will not be shown in pictures and parents will not be "tagged" in posts.
Campers attending cooking camp (vs. baking camp) will be creating one ready-to-cook dinner entrée (serves 5) and dessert to bring home each night. These creations may not be fully cooked when they leave HomeCooked (containing raw ingredients) and will need to be refrigerated prior to final cooking at home. All items that require cooking come with easy directions to follow.
Please bring a cooler for transporting the food if you will not be returning home within 15 minutes after camp. Entrées and many dishes can be frozen and cooked at a later date if desired.
Some sides and sweets may not be able to be frozen. Dinners are usually comprised of chicken, turkey, beef, or pasta and a vegetarian option is available.
There are vegetarian options available. Please request vegetarian options by email at registration.

For cancellations within 7 days of the start of camp parents may call/email to make arrangements to pick up the food on the day following the completion of camp. Requests for camp food need to be received within 30 minutes of the start of camp. There are no refunds or partial refunds.
Folks with cancellations within 7 days of the workshop/camp will be able to make arrangements to pick up the food/treats the day after the session or at another prearranged time.
There are no refunds or partial refunds. Folks with cancellations are also welcome to find another camper to take their spot as long as they meet the age requirements.
Campers are not permitted to attend camp if they are ill or have any cold symptoms or fever (temp must be <100.4F to attend). Should a camper be unable to attend due to illness, please contact us at 610-647-1002 within 30 minutes of the start of camp to arrange picking up the food the following day if desired. If we are not notified by a parent prior to 30 minutes from the start of camp on the day the camper misses we will assume that the food is not wanted. There are no refunds or partial refunds.
If a session has not filled to capacity within 1 week of the start date, a partial session (only 1-2 days instead of 3) may be a possibility. Please contact us. The rate for partial sessions is $95 (cooking) and $90 (baking) per day.
