Summer Camp Food Operations Manager - Denver - Curtis Park

Food Ops Staff MemberAt Steve & Kate's Camp, we're pioneers in self-directed learning, and we're looking for meticulous multitaskers with strong time-management skills to run our on-site food program. As a Food Ops staff member, you'll sharpen your inherent organizational skills, submit food orders, and maintain our kitchen and food service items using hygienic practices, all while doing meaningful work keeping hundreds of bellies full. Given the simplicity of the Food Program, there will also be opportunities to interact with campers, collaborate with interesting coworkers, and help with fun around camp. You won't be making meals (just preparing and serving), so there's no culinary experience required it's totally fine if you don't own one of those silly chef's hats. Job ResponsibilitiesYou'll spend most of your day preparing and serving and cleaning up snacks and lunch, ordering and managing food-service items and supplies, and maintaining all food-related equipment and spaces in sanitary conditions. Actual cooking will be very minimal since all of our entrees are ordered as fully prepared, and we'll teach you everything you need to know with our paid training and development program. Do you have a love of food, even if you don't have professional experience preparing it? Are you a fan of systems, organization, to-do lists, punctuality, and cleanliness? Can you multitask like you're a Hollywood power agent all while keeping calm, level-headed, and nice? Especially the last one? Would sparking up conversations with staff, campers, and parents fit in your comfort zone? If it is out of your comfort zone are you willing to grow in this area? Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 yr. olds bursting with energy and creative potential? And, if needed, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner (at least lift up to 30 pounds)?
