Commis Chef; Co-op Muskoka On Site

Kennedy Catering Corporation (KCC) is hiring Commis Chefs for our 2026 Muskoka camp season (live on site).

Want a summer where you work hard and live on the lake? Great team, free meals, housing included, and a real kitchen experience. This is camp life with purpose. You’re feeding kids. That matters. At KCC, we take pride in making every kid feel included, including special diets. You’ll learn how to cook with care and standards. This is a co-op-friendly role and a real learning job.

You’ll work in a high-volume camp kitchen feeding kids, learn strong habits fast, and get coached by leaders who care about standards. If you’re reliable, coachable, and hungry to improve, you’ll thrive here. We’ll train you. You bring the effort.
