We tent camped with coolers of course and two grandchildren. I froze everything possible. I would make juice at home, and put into empty water bottles, about three quaters full and freeze with lids off. Time to leave lids on and into coolers. They also acted like ice and kept other things cold. By the time the kids wanted a drink they would have melted enough. If you want the frozen stuff to stay frozen or cold longer I would also take it out of freezer, wrap in newspaper and put in the cooler that way. I did discover that I needed to layer the coolers in the order I felt I would be cooking the food, as what was on the top unthawed sooner and on the bottom and in the middle stayed frozen a bit longer. Good luck, one of our trips in the same area is planned.
