Girls should ideally be seated directly across the table from each other. Leaders tie each girl's hands to the hands of the girl sitting opposite her with yarn. The yarn pieces should be just short enough that only one girl can eat at a time. Throughout the meal the girls have to figure out how to coordinate their movements with their partner so that both get to eat and drink -- hopefully without spilling anything!

description:
An elaborate camp dinner activity where girls are invited to a fancy restaurant. They receive menus with creatively named items that disguise the actual food. Girls order 4 items per course, not knowing what they'll actually get. The menu includes cutlery items mixed in with food items, so girls may end up with unusual utensil combinations. By the end of the meal, everyone has sampled everything.

rules:
Send everyone fancy dinner cards inviting them to dine at a fancy restaurant. Seat girls in groups of 6-8 at decorated tables with no cutlery. Give each girl a menu with 12 or 16 creatively named items. For each course, girls pick 4 items (table chooses together). Once food arrives, girls must eat everything before ordering next round. Cutlery is included as menu items, so girls may or may not get utensils.

source_excerpt:
Give each girl a menu (for more on the menu, see below). Note that the menu is full of crazy items, like Birds Nests, Hot Rocks, Intergalactic Lubricating Goo, etc. There should be either 12 or 16 items on the menu in total.

description:
A campfire cooking method where a whole turkey is cooked using charcoal briquettes and a 5-gallon tin bucket as an improvised oven. The turkey is placed on a stake in the ground, covered with the bucket, and surrounded by hot coals. Cooking takes 1.5-2 hours depending on the size of the bird.

rules:
Get fire started in fire ring, allow charcoal to get red hot (~30 min). Clean and season bird. Move coals to one side, spread foil on ground, pound stake into ground about 6". Crush foil into ball around top of stake. Put turkey on stake legs down, cover with bucket. Shovel coals around bucket as high as they will go. Place foil on top of bucket with about a dozen coals on top. Add a dozen pieces of charcoal every 30 minutes. Cook 1.5-2 hours depending on size.

variations:
Chicken version takes only 1 hr to 1 hr 10 min. Pie can be baked the same way: put pie on 3 stakes in triangle, cover with bucket and bake 45 min. A wire tomato cage (inverted) can be used instead of a stake to hold the bird.

source_excerpt:
This is a fun experiment to try in a "residential" camp setting! Thanks very much to Kathy Stephan, who e-mailed me this recipe! I have cooked a turkey using a similar method and let me tell you, it's delicious!

materials_list:
5 gallon tin bucket, long tongs, charcoal briquettes, matches, heavy duty aluminium foil, shovel, wooden stake or 1" diameter dowel, hammer, hot pads, platter, 1 whole turkey, seasoning salt or salt and pepper

An improvised camp grill made from a clay azalea pot filled with sand or pea gravel with a grill rack placed over the top. Charcoal coals are started in a chimney and transferred to the pot. Food is cooked on a rack over the pot, optionally covered with a #10 can to trap heat.

rules:
Use a clay azalea pot (about 14" across). Put screen mesh in the bottom over the hole and fill pot 1/2 to 2/3 full with pea gravel or sand. Place a grill rack or cake cooling rack over the top. Start coals in a chimney then transfer to the pot. Generally 10 coals per pot works well. Spray rack with PAM or cover with foil. Place rack over coals, put chicken or meat patty on grill and cover with a #10 can with a few vent holes punched in the top edge.

variations:
Small flower pots (6-8" across the top) can be used for individual stoves. Can also cover the pot with another pot.

source_excerpt:
Use a clay azalea pot (so named because azaleas are grown in them) - these pots are about 14" across, but are shorter than regular pots. You can also use small flower pots (clay) for individual stoves (about 6-8" across the top).

description:
An insulated slow cooker made from a hay-filled wooden box or cheese box. Works on the same principle as a slow cooker but uses hay instead of electricity to keep the pot hot. Dinner is prepared in the morning and the insulated box keeps it cooking all day.

rules:
Line the bottom of a round cheese box or wooden box with about three inches of dry hay. Place pot to be used in centre, pile hay around pot and pack very firmly. Remove pot, follow recipe. When dinner is ready, cover top of pot with foil before the cover is put on. Place pot in hay box, cover with a layer of hay, then put the box lid on. Prepare dinner just after breakfast; your hot meal will be ready at evening. Cooking time is about three times normal time. Ensure meat is well cooked and water is at a hard rolling boil before putting in haybox.

source_excerpt:
A hay box works on the same principle as a slow cooker, except it uses hay instead on electricity to keep the pot hot (or cold). A round cheese box is the best (Kathryn's is wooden, round, about 30" in diameter and 24" in height has a wooden lid).

An unorthodox campfire cooking method where hot dog wieners are wrapped in tinfoil, placed inside a paper milk carton, and cooked by burning the carton. The paper burns away but the foil-wrapped wieners are cooked through. A similar method can be used for submarine sandwiches with extra insulation.

rules:
Wrap hot dog wieners individually in tinfoil. Place 4-5 wieners inside a cleaned-out 1-L paper milk carton. In a clear area, light the carton on fire. When the carton has burned completely to ashes, the wieners will be hot and cooked through. For a submarine sandwich: wrap the sandwich in a layer of foil, then several layers of newspaper, then another layer of foil before putting it in the milk carton.

Hot dog wieners are wrapped in tinfoil and placed inside a cleaned-out 1-L paper milk carton, which is then lit on fire. When the carton burns to ashes, the wieners inside are hot and cooked through. Submarine sandwiches can also be cooked this way with extra foil and newspaper wrapping.

rules:
Wrap hot dog wieners individually in tinfoil. Place 4-5 wieners inside a cleaned-out 1-L paper milk carton. In a clear area, light the carton on fire. When the carton has burned completely to ashes, the wieners will be hot and cooked through. For a sub sandwich, wrap in foil, then several layers of newspaper, then another layer of foil before placing in the milk carton.

Take your hot dog wieners and wrap them individually in tinfoil. Place 4-5 wieners inside a cleaned-out 1-L paper milk carton. In a clear area, light the carton on fire.

An inventive camping cooking technique using two different-sized tin cans with gravel insulation to create a homemade oven that can be placed directly in a fire. The accompanying blueberry compote recipe demonstrates what to cook in the stove: blueberries with water, sugar, and biscuit mix baked for about an hour.

rules:
Tin Can Stove: Use two different sized cans (e.g., 1 lb coffee can and a 3 lb can). Layer the bottom of the larger can with gravel. Put food in the small can, cover it, and place in the large can. Pour gravel between the small can and large can so gravel is about 2/3 up the side of the small can. Cover with foil lids. Place directly in fire. Blueberry Compote: Put half a pound of blueberries in the small tin, add half a cup of water, sprinkle with white sugar, cover with biscuit mix (no more than 2/3 up the can). Cover with foil. Cook in tin can stove for about an hour. Test for doneness with a toothpick or skewer.

source_excerpt:
Layer the bottom of the larger can with gravel. Wash out your small can well, because this holds your food. Add the food, cover it and put it in the large can.
