This year at camp, along with my crafting and writing duties, I took up my usual post as outdoor cooking instructor (with a dear veteran of campcraft and outdoor living skills being my co-instructor).
We had a considerable menu, including nachos, cherry crunch, croissant donuts, and hobo fries. My first item of cookery for the week, though, was super-easy fudge. This is always fun, because it can be done over a propane camp stove or even a piddly fire - you just need melting time. It's quick, and not terribly messy, and just the right amount of sweetness to share with all the campers without spoiling their appetites for the (ahem) delicious camp food.
...and I got to utilize, again, my dear vintage Pepsi crate of camping gear. Along with bookcase uses, a soda crate (especially a really beat-up one) is good for often-used but cumbersome cookware.

(I'd also like to note the use of another unexpected item for camping storage:

Out nature expert keeps all her campcraft supplies in here. It was very handy to tote about, and certianly sturdy. And earth-toned!)
Outdoor cooking is a truly entertaining undertaking, and with minimal planning can be a hands-on experience for all ages. A fellow staff member gave me a printed compendium of fast, camp-appropriate snacks, a nice cache of ideas that goes along with my other materials.
I've found that it's pretty easy to find camping books at thrift stores and antique stores. Even if the book might be geared to specific genders or ages, there is all kinds of information.
And for the advanced cook, there are still challenges. Though I personally will never skin or scale anything. :)
