Sample Camping Weekend Menu

Friday Dinner:

• Pizza Wraps on the Campfire

Preassembled or assembled on site, this meal doesn’t require plates, utensils, or any cooking equipment. Add your favourite pizza topping to a soft tortilla shell - roll and wrap in tin foil, throw in or over the fire on a grill until warmed through and melted)

• S’mores

Another easy camping favourite - all you need is roasting sticks, marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate.

Saturday Breakfast:

• Oatmeal or Cereal

With a simple meal like this on day one, you can spend more time enjoying the park than cooking a meal on day one!

Saturday Lunch:

• Sandwiches, Veggies and Dip

A light breakfast means campers will be hungry for lunch! Sandwiches require very little prep, can be dish less and portable!

Saturday Dinner:

• Cast Iron Sausage and Veggies with Baked Potatoes

Baked potatoes require a lot of hot coals to cook and can take a long time if they are large or if there’s not enough heat. To cook enough potatoes for dinner and breakfast, get a fire going at least 2 hours before you want to eat - which leaves an hour to burn some logs into hot coals and an hour to cook the potatoes.

Sausage and veg can be done in a cast iron on the fire or a stove.

Sunday Breakfast:

• Breakfast Hash

This meal can be straight up leftovers from dinner the night before, chopped up and reheated in a cast iron pan. You can add eggs, additional veg or protein and/or cheese. Go all out with a sausage gravy or hollandaise.

Sunday Lunch:

• (Self Serve or Portable) Sandwiches, Veggies and Dip

If you go really big with breakfast, this meal may be optional. Opt for something that’s non-perishable like canned tuna or PB&J

Sunday Dinner:

• Ground Turkey and Bean Burritos

Here’s an easy make ahead meal - prep and cook the ground Turkey and bean mixture before packing and freezing enough for the group.

Burritos are also easy to adjust to many dietary options including vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc.

Dessert:

• Campfire Dessert Sandwiches

A cast iron sandwich maker or pie iron gives you lots of room to play with making different goodies on the campfire. Some dessert favourites are sandwich bread with jam or banana bread with some chocolate hazelnut spread

Monday Breakfast:

• Breakfast Burritos

Similar to Breakfast Hash, this can be leftovers from the previous night’s dinner or you can add eggs, nix the wraps - whatever tickles your fancy! As a one skillet meal and plates optional with wraps, clean up from this meal is minimal making packing up a breeze!)

Monday Lunch:

• On the Road and/or Snack Packs

Depending on your departure time, you may opt for lunch at the park or it may be easier to eat something on the road. You can pre-make sandwiches at breakfast, pick something up, or have snacks on hand until you get back home.

Snacks:

• Granola Bars

• Apples, Oranges, Bananas

• Trail Mix

• Popcorn
