My boys use to totally get into finding the right sticks and setting everything up, then getting the fire just right.

HOBO Tacos (use a pie iron spray with pam, add large flour tortilla and put in some cooked taco meat, and whatever else you like. Fold the 4 edges together and close up the pie iron and cook) Comes out like something that Taco Bell would make.
Baggie Omelets (beat a bunch of eggs and separate them into large sturdy freezer bags, add cheese to mix. Then let the people add whatever they like, ham, onion, mushrooms ect.) then get a pot to a rolling boil and add the bag and cook until eggs are firm. Remove from bag and you have an "omelet". Ghetto sous vide.
Banana Boats (with foil make a bowl, cut a banana length wise, add marshmallows and Reeses Cups in the center, close the foil up and cook over fire) Eat with fork.
Best dessert Ever-use pie iron, two pieces of white bread buttered with a sprinkle of sugar facing out to the iron, then pick huckleberries (it helps when it's pitch black out and you've been drinking) add mascarpone (it was going to go bad in my fridge so I packed it for camping, don't judge me), vanilla (I was camping with a bunch of girls it wasn't mine, don't judge me), and some sugar to the center. Close pie iron and cook over fire until the outside is golden brown and the sugar has caramelized. You could just as easily make mascarpone and huckleberry stuffed French toast in the morning.
My buddy and I did prime rib once while car camping. Wrapped it in foil, had a feeder fire going to just use coals to cook it evenly, used heavy duty gloves to rotate it. I didn't mess around, I had a tiny cheap old meat thermometer and made sure we didn't undercook or over cook it. There was some one upmanship going on in that group of friends.
Crawfish boil while backpacking is probably my favorite. Have a few collapsible crawfish trap I got from Trapper Arne. It's really light. Catch 'em in high elevation lakes during the night. Wake up and boil em and I bring some old bay in a spice missile.
Most of these are very kid friendly and keeps them entertained and involved.

What kind of "camping" are we talking about?
Car camping?
Backpacking?
Hunting camp?
My answers were all car camping answers.

My Dad wasn't much of a cook, so this was our camping tradition-
Uh, is that bread in a can?

Never had that, Mag? It's a sweet brown bread and usually served with beans.

2 c. sifted flour
3 3/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. shortening
2/3 c. milk
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening (biscuits may be prepared this far and kept in a closed jar ready to add milk at any time). Stir in milk and knead lightly. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut. Cook in lightly greased hot skillet over very low heat until browned on one side and raised to a height of one inch. Turn and brown on other side.

My kids love egg in a hole for some odd reason. Take a slice of bread, use the bottom of a coke can to cut a hole in the middle. Butter both sides, put it in a pan and crack an egg in the middle. They aren't that good in my opinion, but they are a special camping thing that they go crazy over.
Give this a whirl.
Cut up a few different veggies like onions, peppers or what you like and pile them in middle of skillet. Cut all but about 3/4" of bread out leaving the crust. Lay it over the veggies so they are in the middle. Crack an egg of two in the middle and cook it up like an omelette. Take another piece of bread, leave whole and butter one side. Lay it on top with butter side up and then flip the whole thing over. Cook that for a minute or two and you have an omelette sandwich. :drool:

Yep that's what I do. I don't leave much bread on the bottom piece so that the egg has plenty of room to spread out and cook
