Kennedy Catering Corporation (KCC) is hiring Production Bakers for our 2026 Muskoka camp season (live on site).
This is a high-volume Production Baker role. You’re feeding kids all summer. You’ll bake daily at volume, keep standards high, and help make camp feel like home. You will keep your station organized and clean, and deliver consistent results for meals and snacks. We’re looking for someone reliable, fast, and serious about food safety and allergens. You plan the bake schedule, keep the station stocked, and deliver consistent baking for meals and snacks. You’ll work with the kitchen lead, but you’ll own your workflow.
