About the Class
THE VILLAGE (1102 Lincoln) | Wednesday, November 25, 2026 Today our Tiny Chefs feed the people they love. The Feast Day is a one-day pass into the finale of Sprout & Spice, our Thanksgiving cooking week — same cohort, same room, same staff — on the day the kitchen becomes a restaurant. The morning is real chef's work: mise en place — staging every platter, serving spoon, and dish before service — and hand-drawn name cards for each family's place at the table. The buffet fills with the week's cooking: dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, roast vegetables, and carved turkey. At 2:30 the room goes quiet for the Tree Lighting & Master Chef Ceremony: the 8-foot Gratitude Tree, covered in the cohort's hand-painted leaves, glows to life, and every kid is called up by name to earn the Master Chef of Gratitude badge. Then at 3:00 the doors open and families arrive — this is the one day they do — and the kids serve them Thanksgiving lunch across the buffet line, under the lit Tree, name cards at every place. Come hungry. Every Master Chef heads home at the feast's end with the Tiny Chef's Gratitude Pack in hand and a badge on their chest. Underneath the warmth: cooking sequence, mise en place, serving with pride, and gratitude made visible. DETAILS & LOGISTICS • Your camp day runs 8:30am–5:30pm — included.

Cancellation Policy
VKC Fair + Flexible Camp Cancellation Policy Plans change — kids get sick, schedules shift. Here is how it works. This covers every VKC camp — summer, school-year and holiday — and bookings already made. There is no separate older policy. Cancelling before camp starts 21 days or more before camp starts: your choice of 100% VKC credit, or a refund less the 3% card-processing fee. Fewer than 21 days before camp starts: 100% VKC credit. Cancellations need to reach us in writing — reply to your confirmation email — so we both have a record. There is no late-cancellation fee. How VKC credit works *It is a balance, good for 90 days from the day we issue it, on any VKC camp, class or program at either location. Book within the 90 days; the program itself can fall later. *It's a balance, not a coupon. Spend it across as many bookings as you like. If something costs more than your balance, you pay the difference at checkout. If it costs less, the rest stays on your VKC credit balance. *Transferable. If you can't use it, give it to another family. They book with it directly; you don't need us to arrange anything. *Issued once. If you book a camp with your credit and then cancel that booking, we don't issue a new credit or start a new 90 days. *Credit can't be converted back to a cash refund. Want a different week instead? Just ask. Cancel in writing and rebook a different camp with your credit. A week at the same price costs nothing extra; a dearer week means paying the difference at checkout; a cheaper one leaves the remainder on your balance. Once camp has started A camp week is delivered once it begins. Missed days — including for illness — aren't refunded, credited, or made up. Illness follows the same table as any other reason, so if you know before camp starts, tell us and your full credit is waiting. We'd much rather a sick child rest at home. Why the 21-day line Three weeks out we lock staffing and order materials for every camp. Those costs are spent whether or not a camper comes, which is why cash refunds stop at 21 days. Why refunds are less 3% Our card processor keeps its fee even when we refund you, and we don't get it back. If we cancel If we cancel a camp for any reason — staffing, weather, air quality, low enrollment or facility issues — you choose: a 100% refund, or a 110% credit toward a future program. If a camp is interrupted partway, we prorate to the missed portion.
