Prep Cook at Rockywold Deephaven Camps

Join the kitchen team at Rockywold-Deephaven Camps (RDC), a legendary family resort nestled on the shores of Squam Lake in Holderness, New Hampshire. Operating since 1897, RDC is surrounded by pristine wilderness, White Mountain trails, and crystal-clear lake waters — the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable Work & Travel summer.

As a Prep Cook (Cook II), you'll be at the heart of a high-energy kitchen that serves over 1,600 buffet-style meals every single day. You'll follow prep lists from head chefs, chop and prepare vegetables, fruits, and meats, assist with sauces, soups, and entrees, and help keep the kitchen clean and organized. It's fast-paced, physically active, and genuinely rewarding work as part of a tight-knit team.

When you're off the clock, the resort becomes your playground. Paddle a kayak, sail on Squam Lake, hike trails right from the property, or join weekly staff outings — think beach days, river floats, live music, trips to Portland, outlet shopping, and 4th of July celebrations.
