Assistant Cook

Kitchen Positions

The Assistant cook is a little different each summer! The assistant cook and head cook will work together to figure out a schedule that works for them. Some summers this means that the Assistant cook will cook breakfast solo, bake off cookies, bread, and desserts, and then help prep lunch. Some summers it means working in tandem with the head cook to put out each meal together. We do not micromanage – which is why we require individuals who are self-starters! You must be able to see what needs to be done and accomplish it without any outside assistance (when applicable). Please read the below duties & abilities to see if you’d be a good fit!
