An epic day at camp doesn’t happen without great meals. We are looking for a Director of Food Services to manage the overall operation of our camp kitchens and catering events in our seasonal retreat kitchen.
This position will develop menus, oversee ordering and preparation of a nutritious and diverse menu that meets the dietary needs of campers and team members, monitor food safety and sanitation standards, and train and co-manage a team of kitchen staff. The Food Services Director is instrumental in creating an inclusive camp community by working with our food systems as a whole – from soil to plate, from gardener to cook and camp director to consumer.
Farm & Wilderness and our Five Kitchens
- Each kitchen emphasizes low-processed, fresh, and locally grown foods where possible;
- Campers are often in the kitchen helping prepare meals, set tables, and clean dishes;
- Kitchen staff are considered a part of each camp’s community and are a part of camp events; and
- Kitchens are learning environments where values of collaboration, community, and intention are centered.
- Each kitchen serves a different sized community made up of different genders (male & non-binary, all genders, female & non-binary communities);
- Each kitchen has its own traditions around food, such as how often desserts are served, types of snacks given, or “comfort” vs “stretch” foods/meals;
- Each kitchen has its own unique food-related events, such as end-of-summer banquets and meals made of food completely from our gardens; and
- Each kitchen and camp has its own culture that feels both “Farm and Wilderness” and distinctly their own.
