Going on a camping trip and leaving the oven behind

Right now I am in the midst of preparing for an interesting camping weekend, six adults and three 3 year olds. I love camping as it brings back great memories of when I was a kid camping with my family and my summers spent at canoe camp (yes, it was as dorky as it sounds). But I quickly realized that camping as a kid is way more fun then camping as an adult for the simple reason that adults have to be in charge of organizing and packing everything. Although, we divided up the supplies and cooking duties I still feel like I have spent the last week writing out lists and going to the store. I guess I could do some baking while I am there (if I had a dutch oven and was feeling adventurous) but instead I baked up some banana bread and Rice Krispie treats to take along. And of course we will be making the real smores. The only thing I still need to master is cooking the sweat corn in the fire. Only a 40% chance of rain so I am crossing my fingers that we have a great trip. Wish us luck. We may need it. And of course I am not looking forward to all the clean up that will take place when I get back. I imagine the adults will be in charge of that as well.
