Spend your summer making mealtimes the best part of a camper's day. As a Food Service Associate, you'll keep the dining hall running, help serve hundreds of people three times a day, and set the tone for the room every time campers walk in.

If you're looking for something that actually matters, not just a paycheck, this is it.

Why This Role Matters

You'll spend the summer on a crew that has to move fast and get it right three times a day, every day. That teaches you pace, reliability, and how to work with people under pressure, and employers notice it. You'll also be the one campers see first when they walk in hungry, and a good dining hall is a big part of why a week at camp feels like a week at camp. That's a summer worth having.

Additional Requirements

Must be 16 years of age or older

Employment is contingent on background and reference checks
