Job Description

  • Summer Camp Culinary Lead (Seasonal: May–August 2026)

  • Looking for a summer that’s more than just a job? Join our culinary team and help fuel the joy of camp life! We’re hiring a Culinary Lead to support day-to-day operations in our summer camp kitchens across the USA. This role is all about teamwork, leadership, and creating meals that make campers and staff feel at home — no matter their dietary needs.

    This is a full-time seasonal position (May–August 2026), serving up to 800 guests daily.


    What You’ll Do


    • Lead daily kitchen operations       — from prep to service, ensuring workflow is smooth, safe, and efficient.

    • Support special dietary needs by developing gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options.

    • Set the standard by maintaining excellent sanitation, cleanliness, and safety across all kitchen areas.

    • Create consistency with standardized recipes and presentation techniques.

    • Manage resources wisely — exercise portion control, monitor quality, and minimize food costs.

    • Serve with purpose by coordinating meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and special events) for up to 800 campers and staff daily.

    • Lead and motivate your team, supervising and delegating alongside the Food Service Director.

    • Keep things fresh — monitor ingredients, track logs, and stay ahead of tasks.

    • Bring the camp spirit — interact with campers and staff with a positive, welcoming attitude.

    • Collaborate with Hamsa Cooking management to create memorable food experiences.


  • What We’re Looking For


    • Experienced culinary professional (large-scale cooking or camp experience a plus).

    • Knowledge of food safety, storage, prep, and production systems.

    • Strong leadership and teamwork skills.

    • Detail-oriented with a passion for high-quality, inclusive food.

    • Comfortable in fast-paced kitchen environments (lifting up to 50 lbs, hot grills, cold storage).

    • Enthusiastic, adaptable, and committed to making summer unforgettable for campers and staff.


  • Why Join Us?


    • Spend the summer in a dynamic, supportive camp setting.

    • Be part of a team that values creativity, efficiency, and fun.

    • Gain experience in high-volume food service while making a real impact.

    • Work where every meal is part of the camp experience — not just another service.

  • Apply today to join our summer culinary crew!
     Help us serve up not just meals, but memories.
Qualifications:

  • Must pass a background check to work around kids in the USA.
  • A minimum of 5 years culinary experience (summer camp experience preferred).
  • ServSafe Food Manager Certified.
  • Previous experience in food safety training, culinary arts, large scale cooking and other related high volume culinary fields.
  • Must be comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs 
  • Must be able to be in extreme cold (Cooler, Freezer etc)
  • Must be comfortable experience hot temperatures such as being infront of a grill for long periods of time
  • Must have the ability to produce large quantities and delegate production of food.
  • Knowledge of food storage, prep, cost and labor systems.
  • Passion for food and cooking techniques.
  • Strong leadership qualities.
  • Must be a team player and keep the team motivated and enthusiastic.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
