Camping is a wonderful time to explore and learn, this extends to starting down the path of cooking too.<\/p>\n

This list of ten recipes is easy enough to be cooked and enjoyed by the whole family, yet tasty enough to spark the flame of interest in them to cook bigger and better meals in the future.<\/p>\n

It helps with eating too, as generally, I\u2019ve found kids are more likely to eat anything they make, and certainly stuff that wouldn\u2019t get eaten if you served it to them.<\/p>\n

Involving the kids in the cooking process also means that they are being entertained while helping so you are not dividing your attention between preparing food and trying the track where they are and if they are possibly up to mischief.<\/p>\n

    1. Grilled Ham and Pineapple Kebab<\/h2>\n

    Ham and Pineapple are two ingredients that can be eaten raw, meaning even if the \u2018cooking\u2019 side of the meal goes a little askew they can still be eaten.<\/p>\n

    The threading of the skewers includes many of the motor development skills that are gained from similar activities like making necklaces or playing with lego. So the experience is more than just about cooking.<\/p>\n

    2. Campfire Chocolate Bananas<\/h2>\n

    Nothing draws the attention of a child like a campfire. This banana recipe can be quickly prepared, cooked, and eaten making it ideal for a shorter attention span.<\/p>\n

    It also gives some \u2018choice\u2019 on whether you want chocolate, marshmallows, or both. The cooking is also a choice as it can be eaten anywhere from raw to completely mushy which happens after a long time in the fire.<\/p>\n

    Simple cooking in the campfire also gives a practical option to teach some fire safety while interacting with it rather than just being told to keep away.<\/p>\n

    4. Chocolate and Cheery Dump Cake<\/h2>\n

    Dump cakes are very popular among American boy and girl scouts as they learn the basic cooking techniques involved in using a dump oven.<\/p>\n

    Having cooked many of these, for many children, the chocolate cherry combination is by far the most popular. As the name suggests the ingredients are literally dumped into the Dutch oven, so not much skill is needed.<\/p>\n

    Using a paper liner helps with clean-up. Also, if you have a gluten-free person within the group swap out for a gluten-free packet mix so all can enjoy.<\/p>\n
