WE ARE PEANUT FREE AND ALLERGY AWARE
Rooks to Cooks is both Peanut Free and Allergy Aware! We ask that parents speak to our staff about any known allergies prior to the start of your program. We strive to accommodate all campers and we will work with parents and children to ensure that the necessary precautions have been taken. It is important that all parties (camp staff, parents and campers) clearly understand that, in no way, can we guarantee that we will be able to remove all allergy-inducing ingredients from our recipes.
Our Spaces
We run our programs out of a wide variety of sites across the GTA. In Schools, Community Centers, Churches for our Summer Camps and public programming and in homes of our clients for Birthday Parties.
