      I plan and coordinate meals with Camp administrative staff, and manage a 3 month budget of $100,000 to feed 51-200 staff members and 200+ Campers 3 meals a day/7 days a week. I lead, manage, and am apart of a team of 10 staff members. I oversee and lead the production of every item being prepped with the kitchen. We tend to a wide variety of very specific allergies (Gluten, dairy, egg, soy, corn, fish, peanut, etc.) and other dietary preferences.
