Assistant Food Program Manager
Seven years ago, Jamie Sweetser’s family friend Kim Novotny convinced her to try something new. She joined the seasonal kitchen team at Merrowvista and, under Novotny’s guidance as Food Program Manager, Jamie dove headfirst into her first professional cooking job. Today, she’s part of the full-time team as Assistant Food Service Manager, working closely with Novotny to provide campers and Community and School Program participants nutritious, delicious scratch-made meals. This past year she dove into a new endeavor: freeze-drying food for outcamping trips, and she looks forward to advancing this area to give more “fresh” options and variety of meals on trail.
“I am thankful that I found a position that continues to challenge me and gives me pride and accomplishment each day. I enjoy the people I work with and love the change of seasons and energy that the camp brings to my life.”
