Position Overview:

We are seeking an enthusiastic, self-motivated person to join our summer camp in Maine as a Chef/Gardener. This individual will be responsible for cultivating and tending to our camp’s garden, providing fresh produce for meals, leading educational programs on sustainable farming and planning, shopping, cooking, and preparing delicious, wholesome meals for campers and staff.

You will play a crucial role in fostering a sense of connection to the environment and the land we live on, teaching campers about where their food comes from, and engaging them in hands-on cooking and gardening experiences.

Although this role includes a range of responsibilities, it can be tailored to your unique skills and interests. The weekly time commitment will be collaboratively determined by you and the Growing Routes Director, considering the camp's schedule and needs, while limiting the workload to what feels manageable for everyone involved. Your schedule will also allow for ample time to relax and enjoy the lake, explore nearby mountains, connect with the local community, and immerse yourself in the idyllic Maine landscape.
