[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a good tent, ,with an independent fly.
You need a tarp for underneath it.
Imagine it will be pouring rain.  
You will need a way to cook food - I recommended freeze dried stuff; then all you need to do is boil water. 
Thus you will need some gear:  a propane or butane cooking unit will do.  
You will need a medical kit, utility knife - think Swiss Army.
Good hiking shoes - boots really.  Bug spray.  Will they camp next to the car or actually do hiking? Cause then you will need a backpack.  Pads helps for better sleeping. Sleeping bags.  Small amount of toiletries.
Hats/a poncho
Good luck![/quote]

You don't need freeze dried food.  Just bring hotdogs and finger food, pancakes and pre-cooked sausage for breakfast.  You can make Mac and cheese.  It is nice to have a camp stove, but don't invest lots of money if you are not going to do it very long.  Check out craigslist and see what you can buy used.  Having a second tarp is useful in the rain.  You can hike in tennis shoes of whatever the kids already have. 
You can use large garbage bags as rain coats if you have to. [/quote]
