As the Head Cook, you aren’t just flipping burgers; you’re the heartbeat of the camp. You’ll be responsible for:
• Leading the Kitchen: Manage and mentor a team of 2 kitchen support staff.
• Cooking Classic Fare: Preparing "crowd-pleaser" meals. Think hearty scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, golden grilled cheese and soup for lunch, and big batches of chili or tacos for supper.
• Kitchen Management: Overseeing food prep, maintaining high sanitation standards, and keeping the pantry organized.
• Creating Community: Ensuring every camper and counselor walks away from the dining hall full and happy.
• Tried and true menus are set, and you'll have junior staff to help out.

Qualifications

• A "Comfort Food" Pro: You don't need fancy foams or tweezers—you’re a master of the basics and know how to cook for a crowd.
• Reliable & Positive: You show up on time with a "can-do" attitude that keeps the kitchen morale high. Commitment to Camp Kidston's mission and values.
● Safety Conscious: Knowledge of food safety and hygiene (Food Handler’s Certification required.) Work with Director of Health & Safety to accommodate camper allergies and food sensitivities. Able to obtain Criminal record check and a vulnerable sector search.
