Long hours, no holiday bonus, no pay for working overtime, hot kitchen with no A/C, lack of structured schedule

Pretty good

Dishwasher/Kitchen Helper (Former Employee) - Huntsville, ON - 2 October 2019

The workers and everyone there were really nice, the job was fairly easy, I feel like we should’ve gotten paid more but it’s OK for a starting off job

Long hours, low pay

Dishwasher/Kitchen Helper (Former Employee) - Sprucedale, ON - 10 July 2019

The condition in the contract are likely not what you will be getting. Ik it seems like you’ll be able to tough out the long hours and (extremely) low pay but be weary, some days would run up to 13 hours straight with maybe a small 10 minute break in the morning. The activities you’re able to do will depend on the camp, but chances are you won’t have time to do them anyways. The food isn’t even good, and (my kitchen at least) was unsanitary at best.

No Bad

Kitchen Helper/Dishwasher (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 February 2019

Good first job to get your foot in the door but that's it. Liked the facted that we had a place to stay and free food. Long hours for less than minimum wage. Good learning experience.

My camp and work life.

Kitchen Helper(Former Employee) - 618 Island View Drive, Golden Lake, Ontario - 29 September 2019

Red Pine camp if full of events for campers and employees. My job was to help in the kitchen. I made salads four different kinds of salads for 400-500 people everyday. I also help the chef, sous chef, baker, and other kitchen helpers. I helped with service every time I had a chance. I then clean every time i go in and out of a station. Before my shift ended, I made sure that the person after my shift was ready for anything, prepping was done my shift ended. Then after that I enjoyed mt days in thr camp.

fun working environment

Kitchen Helper/Tripper(Former Employee) - huntsville on - 16 March 2013

Working for GB Catering meant spending my summer living far away from home at a camp. I loved this opportunity as I got to meet many new people who are now close friends. I didn't find it hard working for them as everything was pretty basic and we followed a very organized routine. working wit people who are friends also makes it much easier.
