We make pizzas over the grill....use Chef Boyardee mix. We also do "bag dinners" making bags out of aluminum foil and putting our ingredients in, then cooking in the fire or on the grill. Use beef tips, chicken chunks, onions, garlic, zucchini, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms and whatever else I have left over from any previous meal.
I don't know the age of the kids, but I have a 5th and 6th grade Sunday School class that I take camping a couple times each year and we always make "STEW". They love it and they cook it in the dutch oven. They cut up all the ingredients, they stir, then they serve and do cleanup. They thoroughly enjoy it. I use chunked chicken, andouille sausage slices, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes in chicken broth. Cook until done, then add cream of chicken soup after it's taken from the fire. Wonderful.
We also do "spider weenees". Take a sharp knife and cut the end into 4ths, going almost to the center. Turn the weenee around and do the other end, leaving at least an inch in the middle uncut. Roast and the ends curl like a spider (8 legs).
Also, we use our pie irons and make manwich pies. Make some manwich meat and refrigerate. When ready to use, spray pie irons with oil, put a piece of bread on one side, add some manwich meat, cheese if desired and another piece of bread. Close iron and toast until the bread is toasty and manwich meat warms.
We also do grilled cheese and grilled ham and cheese this way, too.
