Ma & Pa Information regarding Food:
All meals will be served at the set up camp site, except for dinner on Friday night. You will be
cooking Tin Foil Dinners in your own family site. Because of time constraints this will have to be done quickly, hence frozen foods instead of fresh. I tried these dinners out with my own family and
they worked great and were very delicious, hopefully your “family” will feel the same!
You will receive a dinner kit in paper bags with the following items:
Paper plates (Heavy duty ones, the meals will be very hot)
Plastic forks
Napkins
Tin Foil sheets (pre-cut, each person will get 4, 2 to layer on bottom and 2 on top-because they are a bit thin, but worked great this way, extra will be included to make a extra dinners with whatever ingredients you may have left. There should not be much, but please use everything up, it will get eaten)
Chicken (1 pkg, 8 cups per family, pre-cooked it just needs warmed in the fire, you will need to monitor family members as they can each have about ¾ cup, some will want more, some less)
1, 5lb. Bag of mixed frozen veggies, this allows for 1 cup per person
2, 2lb. Bags of southern style hash browns, this allows for about ¾ cup per person
1 bottle of balsamic vinegarette dressing - don’t let them skip this part as it is what steams the meal. Allow for about 2 Tbsp. per person, but use it all up! Make sure you shake the bottle well!
20 dinner rolls (2 per person)
S’more stuff to be used later when returning to the family campsite.
Chocolate bars - 1 per person
1 box of graham crackers
1 bag marshmallows
Things you will need to bring for your family:
Matches / newspaper - firewood provided
Surface to put meals together on - Your handcart would be one idea, but maybe
a covering or a few large cutting boards?
Heavy gloves to pull dinners out of the fire
Folding shovel to help with cooking and coals
Sharpie - to write names on the foil dinners
Salt and pepper
Roasting sticks
A garbage bag to gather trash from the dinner
Serving tools for ingredients - large serving spoon equivalent to serving size, or measuring cups?
