Do you want to spend your summer in a vibrant, supportive environment while honing your large-batch cooking skills? Camp Walt Whitman is seeking dedicated, team-oriented cooks to help fuel our campers and staff for a summer full of adventure.

Unlike a standard restaurant or catering job, our camp kitchen operates in a high-energy, collaborative setting where each meal contributes to the camp experience. You’ll work alongside a passionate team preparing meals for a community that values good food, teamwork, and positive energy.

What You’ll Do:
Prepare and cook large-scale meals that are both nutritious and delicious for campers and staff.
Collaborate with a team of skilled cooks in a fast-paced but rewarding kitchen environment.

Adapt to the unique rhythm of camp life—where flexibility and a positive attitude make all the difference.
Bring enthusiasm to meal preparation, ensuring a variety of flavors and dietary needs are met.
Who We’re Looking For:
Experienced cooks comfortable with batch cooking for large groups (camp, school, catering, or institutional cooking experience is a plus).
Hardworking, team-first individuals who bring positive energy to the kitchen.
Reliable professionals who can work both independently and collaboratively.
Adaptable problem-solvers who thrive in a dynamic environment.
Passionate individuals eager to embrace a summer of good food, great people, and a unique experience.
