Wolfoods breaks away from the standard approach toward "camp food" by eliminating the standard Freezer‑to‑Table fare and improving it with Home Style Scratch Cooking. Partnering with camps committed to offering campers healthy, fresh, and delicious foods, Wolfoods is changing the perception of camp food into something more appropriately called camp cuisine. Each meal offers fresh baked on‑site by a professional baker in the camp bakery.

Campers can enjoy perfectly executed entrees or an offering from the morning fruit and yogurt bar at breakfast and during lunch and dinner, the salad bars. No camper is left without personalized care. Any camper requiring special diets is attended to with the utmost importance by one of our trained chefs. Wolfoods is prepared to cook for an array of diets ranging from kosher to nut‑free, or gluten‑free to vegan.

Wolfoods Food Services is an Equal Opportunity Employer and shall treat all applicants for employment equally based upon job‑related qualifications and without regard to race, color, age, sexual orientation, marital status, military or veteran status, national origin, disability, religion, or any other characteristic protected by law.
