Camp Catering Solutions: In-House or Consulting?

Running a summer camp comes with many moving parts, and one of the biggest challenges is food service. From ensuring balanced meals to accommodating dietary restrictions, camp directors must decide whether to hire a catering company or manage an in-house kitchen. Kennedy Catering Corp. specializes in both full-service catering and consulting services, helping camps build a seamless and efficient food program.

Hiring a Catering Company vs. In-House Food Service

Many camps choose to outsource their kitchen operations to a catering company to reduce stress and ensure high-quality meals. However, some prefer to keep food service in-house, giving them more control over menus, costs, and staffing. But managing an in-house kitchen can be overwhelming without the right expertise.

At Kennedy Catering Corp., we offer solutions for both approaches. Whether you need a full catering team or expert consulting to enhance your camp's food service, we provide the guidance and resources to create a successful meal program.

Consulting Services: A Cost-Effective Alternative to Catering

For camps that prefer to run their own kitchens but need support, our consulting services provide a structured approach to food service management. Our consulting solutions include:

• Menu Development & Planning – Custom meal plans that balance nutrition, taste, and dietary needs.
