We knew that this year at Girl's Camp we were going to take advantage of being in a place that was packed with activities so we wanted to spend little to no time cooking and cleaning. This is how we did it:
1. Pre-cook and freeze EVERYTHING that we could. The only thing that had to be cooked that we didn't pre-cook was the sausage links. Everything else was pre-cooked. 2. Use disposable eating goods. So that we weren't wasteful I didn't pack very much extra. You could also get recycled items. I also used what we already had in storage. This was our super simple menu: Wednesday: lunch - own sack lunches dinner - roasted hot dogs over the fire, chips, watermelon, s'mores Thursday: breakfast - breakfast burritos, fruit, cocoa, juice lunch - chicken pitas, grapes, chips dinner - taco salad, mandarin oranges, cookies & milk (provided by a mom) note: we had extra chicken from lunch, Doritos from the night before, and tortillas from breakfast so we put them as an additional option for the taco salads and we found out that making their own burritos was far more popular than a taco salad. Also, they loved the chicken option. Friday: breakfast - sausage links, french toast sticks, juice, fruit, cocoa lunch - sandwiches, chips, apples (cookies provided by a mom) dinner - marinara meatball subs, salad, chips (leftovers too) - the meatballs were pre-cooked and frozen (we made our own so we had to be careful when we were stirring them in the sauce to heat them up) Saturday: breakfast - cereal, granola bars Snack Tote: granola bars, fruit snacks, goldfish crackers, leftovers from meals such as chips & fruit We literally were ready to eat in 15 minutes and cleaned up in 15 minutes for each meal. We literally had a few serving utensils to wash and dutch ovens to wipe out and that was it.
