Make more $$$ this summer cooking your way through the spectacular Pacific Northwest at Crater Lake National Park. We offer tips on top of competitive wages and provide a fun and engaging work environment supported by our professional corporate chefs who visit the Lake frequently throughout the season to offer training and mentoring to all cooks. If you want to advance your career, start here! We also offer benefits including 401k retirement plans.
Offering two distinct dining experiences, Annie Creek, and The Lodge (overlooking Crater Lake), you will not regret working with an accomplished Chef and a cohesive team that works together to create memorable experiences both in and out of the kitchen. Our season begins in early May and concludes late October. After that, you may have the opportunity to work at a year-round location in our Company. Many of our seasonal associates return year after year.
We are renovating a large dorm within the Park during 2026 so it will be closed until 2027 but not to worry. We will be providing employee housing at a newly acquired historic hotel only 30 minutes from the Park and we are busily outfitting it with new beds, a comfy employee lounge, game room, library and a gym. Of course, we will offer free shuttle rides to and from the park so you can sit back and relax on the drive. Housing rates are extremely low and you'll learn all about them during the interview process. We are also offering free room and board during certain months of the season.
Apply today and get ready to pack for bags for your northwest adventure to Crater Lake National Park!
