Cooking weeks: We are a nut-free environment but we cannot guarantee that the ingredients we use are completely free from nuts or have not been in contact with nuts. Unfortunately, due to the nature of our activities we are unable to make accommodations for specific dietary needs. At no time can our kitchen be completely free of allergens. If you child has allergies or food restrictions, we highly recommend enrolling them in a non-cooking week.
