Enhancing Food Storage at Camp Chestnut Ridge with Polar King

When it comes to educational retreats and summer camps, maintaining the quality and safety of perishable food items is a top priority. Camp Chestnut Ridge, located in Efland, North Carolina, recognized this necessity and sought a dependable refrigeration solution to support their food service operations. To meet their specific needs, Polar King designed and constructed an 11′ x 7′ free-standing walk-in cooler and freezer combination unit, offering a robust and efficient solution.

Meeting the Unique Needs of Camp Chestnut Ridge

Camp Chestnut Ridge provides an immersive outdoor experience for campers and retreat attendees, complete with meals prepared on-site. Given the camp’s remote location and high food demand, having a reliable refrigeration system was essential to ensuring fresh and safe meals. Polar King’s walk-in cooler and freezer combination provided the camp with ample storage space while ensuring optimal temperature control for perishable goods.

The Advantages of Polar King’s Fiberglass Construction

Camp

One of the key reasons Camp Chestnut Ridge chose Polar King was its innovative seamless fiberglass construction. Unlike traditional metal-panel walk-in coolers, Polar King’s units are constructed as a single, durable piece. This design enhances insulation, prevents moisture infiltration, and eliminates seams where bacteria and mold can grow.

Additionally, these units are engineered to withstand outdoor environments, making them perfect for facilities like summer camps where exposure to rain, humidity, and extreme temperatures is common. The seamless construction also ensures minimal maintenance, helping Camp Chestnut Ridge focus on its mission rather than worrying about refrigeration issues.

A Long-Term Solution for Food Storage

With the installation of the Polar King walk-in cooler and freezer, Camp Chestnut Ridge significantly improved its food storage capabilities. The unit’s energy efficiency and durability provide long-term cost savings, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

By partnering with Polar King, Camp Chestnut Ridge has not only enhanced its kitchen operations but also reinforced its commitment to providing high-quality meals for campers and staff. This project is a testament to Polar King’s expertise in delivering tailored refrigeration solutions that address the unique needs of educational and recreational institutions.
