Wolfoods breaks away from the standard approach to camp food by eliminating the standard “freezer‑to‑table” fare and focusing on home‑style scratch cooking. We partner with camps committed to offering campers healthy, fresh, and delicious foods, and we change the perception of camp food into a “camp cuisine.” Our diverse menu lets campers enjoy favorites while experiencing different cultures. Any camper requiring special diets is attended to with the utmost importance by trained chefs, cooking for diets ranging from kosher to nut‑free, gluten‑free, and vegan.
