Kitchen Crew at Bishops Store – Jackman, Maine
Imagine waking up steps away from sparkling lakes, lush forests, and a community that treats you like family.

As a Kitchen Crew member, you'll rotate through breakfast, afternoon, and evening shifts, mastering everything from made-to-order breakfast sandwiches and grilled food to cold deli creations and desserts.

Jackman is a true hidden gem: peaceful, safe, and packed with outdoor adventures. Think fishing, hiking, campfires with s'mores, pontoon boat rides, and 4th of July fireworks — all on your doorstep. Community locals frequently invite international students on day trips to Canada, bowling, movies, and more.
