CAMP LIST
I will bring hot dogs and muffins for dinner and breakfast. I will also have hot chocolate.
You bring
A can of chili
We will have hot water. Bring instant oatmeal packs if you want that, or something else.
Lunch - Something you don't have to cook. Sandwiches, tortilla wraps, or just snacks. I like tortillas and bagel sandwiches because they are tough, and don't smash.
