Description
This 35-acre day camp on Lake Hopatcong needs a hands-on instructor to run daily cooking and baking sessions for campers in pre-K through 8th grade. It's a natural extension of a classroom teaching background, with lesson planning, age-appropriate instruction, and group management built into the role.
Willow Lake Day Camp is seeking a Kids' Cooking Activity Specialist for its Summer 2027 season to lead hands-on cooking and baking lessons for campers ages 3 to 14. The specialist plans age-appropriate recipes, teaches basic kitchen skills like measuring and food safety, adapts activities for dietary restrictions, and partners with counselors to keep groups engaged. The schedule runs weekdays only with no evening or weekend commitments, a convenient fit for teachers using summer break to stay active in youth education. Strong communication, organization, and patience are expected qualities. Interested applicants should verify current openings, pay, and specific requirements directly with Willow Lake Day Camp before applying.
