One of the unfortunate deterrents for parents when they think about taking their kids camping is food. I think some folks are legitimately concerned if their children could survive a week without a visit to Mickey D’s. I mean, of course they would survive, but how much of a headache would mom and dad have afterwards? Thankfully, I think there’s a great solution and compromise in the creativity camp food has the potential to offer.
In fact, there’s a great article on camp food for kids I came across recently. The author lists 30 kid-friendly meals with links to their recipes. Some of the meals are very typical and traditional like blueberry pancakes or macaroni and cheese while others are more unusual and creative such as porcupine stew (don’t worry, no real porcupines are involved) or something the author calls “gunk.”
