2026 - Culinary Professionals - Baker / Pastry Chef - Seasonal Relocation Job is not Local

Wolfoods, Inc. is a pioneering company that operates summer camp kitchens across the United States from May through September. Known for breaking away from the traditional approach to camp food, Wolfoods focuses on providing fresh, home-style scratch cooking rather than the conventional freezer-to-table fare. Its mission is to transform the perception of camp meals by offering what it calls 'Camp Cuisine,' a healthier, more appealing alternative to standard camp fare. By partnering with camps that prioritize the health and enjoyment of their campers, Wolfoods ensures that every meal served is nutritious, well-balanced, and delicious.

Wolfoods works within summer camp kitchens and dining halls to educate young campers about balanced diets and sustainable green initiatives. Its diverse menu allows campers to enjoy familiar favorites while also exploring new culinary cultures and tastes. Each meal features freshly baked items prepared onsite by professional bakers in the camp bakery. Other meal highlights include a morning fruit and yogurt bar for breakfast and fresh salad bars at lunch and dinner, offering campers variety and choice. Special attention is given to campers with dietary restrictions or allergies, with trained chefs adept at providing Kosher, gluten-free, nut-free, vegan, and other specialized diet options to ensure no camper is left out.

The company is committed to high standards of service, quality, sanitation, and professionalism. Wolfoods culinary employees live onsite at the camps, creating tightly knit kitchen and dining teams that function in fast-paced, high-volume environments. The company supports its staff with room, board, and travel assistance, and it values strong leadership, initiative, and teamwork in its culinary professionals. Wolfoods’ seasonal summer contracts provide a competitive salary with bonus opportunities and are designed for those passionate about culinary arts and ready to embrace a unique outdoor and communal living experience.

The role of Baker/Pastry Chef at Wolfoods is a hands-on, demanding position integral to fulfilling the company’s high culinary standards. This role requires experience, motivation, and capability to execute the Wolfoods Camp Food Service Program flawlessly. Bakers/Pastry Chefs are responsible not only for preparing and baking all bakery items on the menu, including special events, but also for managing inventory, assembling orders, supervising bakery personnel, and maintaining health department sanitation standards. They must be efficient in using weights and measures to follow standardized recipes and ensure all baked goods meet criteria for timing, quantity, quality, and presentation.

Moreover, this position involves leadership responsibilities including coaching and training support staff, maintaining professional communication with diverse camp populations (children, staff, directors, managers), and upholding Wolfoods’ service guidelines. Bakers must be able to work long hours (70-hour work weeks) in variable temperature environments while living onsite in a rural camp setting, sometimes sharing living spaces. Physical demands such as standing long periods, lifting heavy weights, and performing repetitive motions are part of the job.

Ideal candidates are those seeking seasonal summer opportunities, enjoy the challenge of a high-volume commercial kitchen, value a culture of teaching and learning, thrive in a team community environment, and are willing to relocate for this rustic, immersive role. The successful baker will bring proficiency in baking from scratch, leadership skills, the ability to self-motivate, and the adaptability to handle the unique demands of camp life. Wolfoods provides certification support, such as ServSafe Allergens Certification, emphasizing safety and quality. It is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity and inclusion, providing equal employment opportunities without discrimination based on protected characteristics.
