Cold sandwiches are easy enough to make for lunches in the big outdoors. Peanut butter and jelly or tuna fish sandwiches are simple to make and can be prepared right then and there. For dinner, you can bring your own beans and cornbread and heat back up right over the campfire.

Be sure to bring plenty of fruit to munch on for snack times and in the evening around the campfire. Fruit and nut mixes are healthy snacks too.
