West Coast Expeditions kayaking base camp is located on Spring Island off the northwest side on Vancouver Island in the traditional territory of the Ka:’yu:’k’t’h’/Che:k’tles7et’h’ First Nations. Our goal to inspire people with the wonder and joy of getting to know BC's rugged and remote west coast through sea kayaking and marine/cultural ecology experiences that contribute in positive ways to the health and well-being of our guests, staff, community, and the Kyuquot area. The food service program is an integral element of the guest’s experience by offering plentiful, healthy, nutritious meals while interacting with guests in a positive and meaningful way. Responsibilities: • Planning and preparing a healthy and nutritious 4 to 6-day menu for groups of 10-20 people in base camp and supporting the planning and packing of our 6 to 8-day expedition menus; modifying the menu to accommodate dietary requirements, restrictions, and preferences. • Managing all aspects of our food service, including detailed food orders (every 4-6 days), inventory, daily food care and waste controls, maintaining kitchen hygiene and systems, meal prep & presentation. • Punctually serving daily breakfasts and dinners, and some lunches (though lunches are often prepared at breakfast to be served by guides during day trips). • Managing staff assistance for meal preparation and presentation as necessary, while collaborating with other staff to support all aspects of “the guest experience”. • Maintaining positive interactions with guests and co-workers throughout the day, including at mealtimes and during unscheduled periods; opportunity to eat together with staff and guests. • Assisting with maintaining camp systems, including the solar power system, rainwater collection system, general site maintenance, and overall care/presentation of shared facilities. • Learning from and working with local Indigenous friends and family, and other local community members, which includes collaborative meal preparation each week for a cultural salmon dinner.
