Thanks for your question! They can be letters from the employer OR the form.
Hello,
I am wondering if the references for applying have to be the provided reference form or can they be reference letters from employers? Thanks
I have recently been outsourced at the Clemson University outdoor Lab where I was a food specialist. We are a camp during the summer for special needs ( mentally challendge, under privilidge, blind deaf, etc) Durning the off season we did wedding recipitions, reunions, conferences,christmas parties, etc. I have been in food srevice for the past 27 years with most of them as kitchen manager. i would love to stay in food service and in a camp setting, if you have an positions please let me know.

We still have openings for prep cooks and are accepting applications
Is it too late to apply? im interested in the prep cook position. Is it still available? thanks
Sorry Carmen. Our minimum age for employment is 19.
How old do you have to be to work in the kitchen? Is 15 ok?
thanks for your post Celia. For those under 21, the food service positions are open to you to apply. Although the major part of your job would entail preparing meals, there are opportunities for support staff to interact w/ the young people if desired. (This can be discussed in more detail during the interview.)
On rare occasion, we have hired a person who is under 21 for a program / counseling role if the person presents exceptional experience in the youth work arena, or significant residential camp staff experience (not just day camps).
Hi! I read through the descriptions of jobs available for the program, and I was wondering if any were available for students under 21.
Thanks!
