Kennedy Catering Corporation (KCC) is hiring a Baker Assistant for our 2026 Muskoka camp season (live on site)

This is a peak-season support role in a high-volume camp bakery. You’ll help execute daily baking for meals and snacks by portioning, tray-ups, bake-offs, cooling, packing, and labelling. We’re looking for someone fast, organized, and serious about cleanliness and allergen rules. Perfect for a co-op student who wants real baking experience. You’ll work inside a high-volume camp bakery and learn the systems that matter: speed, consistency, food safety, and allergen control. If you’re slow, messy, or need reminders to clean, this won’t work. If you like pace and take pride in clean work, you’ll crush it. This role is not a “watch and learn” placement. You’ll work. You’ll move. You’ll improve fast.

Pay: $130/day, $780week (paid bi-weekly)

Completion bonus: 1 extra week of pay after season contract completion (10+ weeks)

Contract dates: We hire for multiple Muskoka camps. Roles run between April 1 and Oct 31, 2026, depending on the site. Some roles start in April, most start in May–June, and most end mid-Sept. Please apply with your exact available start and end dates.

Referral bonus: $150 after your referral completes 6 full weeks

Schedule: 6 on / 1 off during peak.

Minimum age: 15+

Live on site: Yes
