Great Wolf Lodge

We’re celebrating National Intern Day by recognizing our extraordinary Summer Hospitality Interns. Upon joining our pack, all 81 interns were assigned a challenging project that would give them genuine hands-on experience in the hospitality and entertainment industry. Some worked individually, others in a group, but they all dedicated themselves to researching and preparing innovative solutions to the assigned challenges.   This week, our interns had the opportunity to present their final projects to their lodge leadership team. The results were impressive, demonstrating an admirable work ethic and enthusiastic commitment to strengthening the pack. We are incredibly proud of each of them. #internship #hospitality #nationalinternday

Love Your Lodge is our way of celebrating Pack Members who have made a career at Great Wolf Lodge. Today, we’re featuring Chris Farlow, Assistant Director of Engineering at Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky, and a Pack Member for more than 17 years. 1. What do you love about working at Great Wolf Lodge? I love the people! From my fellow Pack Members to our guests coming to enjoy the lodge and create family memories, they’re what make work such a positive and gratifying part of my life. 2. What’s a way that you get to help out other Packs or other Pack Members working at Great Wolf? I have been fortunate enough to travel to seven of our lodges to provide all levels of support. From opening new properties, to training new managers and staff, to working in day-to-day operations, I’ve done it. Now, I’m also able to provide support via virtual training that allows me to reach our entire family of lodges. 3. What’s a personal or unique aspect of your lodge that makes it fun to work at? In recent years, Sandusky has become home to large indoor and outdoor sports facilities. Having the teams visit the lodge to unwind and bond together as a group—it’s fun to be a part of that!

Last week, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of our Maryland lodge. In honor of the milestone, we welcomed back celebrity chef Duff Goldman, who designed a massive birthday cake and invited guests to participate in a “cake smash” to mark the occasion. Goldman created the original grand opening cake for our Perryville, MD lodge, and also designed limited-edition cupcakes based on our Great Wolf Pack animated characters. We’re honored to have him and his family return to celebrate the success of our Maryland lodge’s first year of operation: Congrats to all the Pack Members who made it happen!

Great Wolf Lodge takes pride in always putting safety first. Throughout National Safety Month in June, our lodges took the opportunity to highlight that pledge. “Over the course of the month, we focused on Pack wellness, safety education, and creative ways to make safety engaging for everyone,” says Melissa Wornick, Great Wolf’s Corporate Risk Manager. “These annual events help uphold our commitment to keeping our Pack Members and our guests safe.” From employee trivia nights to health and wellness outreach, we’re always looking for new ways to promote safety at our lodges.
