Camp Consulting Services
For too long, camp catering has been seen as an all-or-nothing solution—either you hire a full on-site catering team (a luxury most camps can’t afford) or you struggle to make it work on your own. Anthony and Elyse are changing that.
We believe camps deserve high-quality meals without the high-end cost. That’s why we’ve built a seamless and structured system that helps camps achieve the same results as on-site catering—at half the price. Through strategic support, customized plans, and expert analysis, we give camps the tools to run an efficient, well-organized kitchen without breaking the budget.
With subscription-based plans, flexible payment options, and pay-per-use add-ons, we offer as much or as little support as you need. Whether it’s menu planning, staff training, or ongoing operational guidance, we make sure your kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine—without the full-time catering costs.
Let’s redefine how camps approach food service!
CLIENT REVIEW(S)
While the simplest and most practical solution for any camp would be to engage a company (I would gladly bring on Kennedy) to take care of everything – we had to find a more creative solution to our problems, and thankfully Kennedy Catering was able to help us out! We worked with Elyse and Anthony to create a menu, and the supporting training and guidance documents that would provide that much-needed support to the hard-working, yet less experienced staff were lucky enough to bring to camp. They built an entire system with a daily menu and the detailed recipes and full-day directions to keeping the whole kitchen running. It was the next best thing to having an Executive Chef on hand, and it made a massive difference for us. Brendan Turner Executive Director, Sparrow Lake Camp
