Create nutritious meals from scratch while living and working in the north woods!

Working at Ogichi Daa Kwe might be the most meaningful option you’ll have this summer. You’ll get to be a part of fueling campers and staff, be part of a vibrant and caring community, live in some of the most beautiful parts of our natural world, and gain experiences you’ll remember the rest of your life.

With a name meaning “strong spirited women” in Ojibwe, Ogichi Daa Kwe is a one-of-a-kind wilderness camp for girls located in northern Minnesota. Established in 2004, Ogichi’s program offers countless opportunities for growth through challenging canoe and backpacking trips, empowering activities, a wide-range of in-camp classes, and a healthy lifestyle. Undistracted by technology, unburdened by social pressures, and encouraged by passionate role models, the young women who come to Ogichi Daa Kwe discover a stronger version of themselves.

We are looking for strong-spirited staff to work with kitchen managers and other team members to prepare meals, cook from scratch as much as possible, maintain safety standards, assist in stocking and food orders, and maintain a clean kitchen. Staff will be expected to obtain any necessary health and safety licenses/certifications.

Individuals interested in working for Ogichi Daa Kwe will have the opportunity to be a part of an amazing community in the northwoods of Minnesota, gaining experience in serving groups of 25 to 250 individuals between the ages of 9 to 80. Staff have the opportunity to be creative in exploring new dishes and recipes within a friendly professional kitchen environment. Kitchen staff also have the opportunity to be a part of our summer program described in more detail at www.ogichi.org.
