I usually do sandwich or rice and beans, dairy food (yogurt, cheese stick or cubes, chocolate milk juice box), vegetable (gazpacho now because it's hot, corn on the cob, carrots and guac, cucumbers and hummus etc . . . ), fruit, treat (granola bar, cookie, etc . . .

How do rice/ beans and guac hold up in terms of going bad or going brown? Do you do anything special to the guac to prevent browning? Kid loves corn on the cob, I’ll pick some up this week!

I buy the guacamole in those little 100 calorie packs. Same with hummus. Otherwise it would go brown I assume.

Rice and beans, or some kind of bean salad holds up fine.

NP — add plenty of lemon or lime juice to homemade guac to prevent browning (and teach your kid there’snother wrong with eating brown avocados in their lunch).

I probably could, but the 100 calorie packs work really well.

This is our camp lunch for the week:

polenta squares, baby carrots, sliced cucumber
cold pasta with shredded parm, baby carrots, cornichons
hard-boiled egg, plantain chips, shredded parm
yogurt, granola, baby carrots

Sending in an insulated lunch bag.

When all else fails, my kids will cheese + crackers until they burst. Ads a veggie they'll eat, like pepper strips or cucumber slices, and a fruit, and it's not the worst lunch in the world.

Wish I could get my kids to eat hummus but they're not there yet.

Why wouldn’t a kid eat crackers, hummus, rice, beans, corn, carrots, cucumber, guac?

My kid eats all of these things.

Some of my staples for nut-free camps are quesadillas, Chick'n nuggets, mac and cheese or another pasta in a thermos, bagel and cream cheese, turkey sandwich, or grilled cheese.

If it had to all be disposable, sun butter or hummus can still be good on a sandwich in the heat. Hard boiled eggs will be good for a morning without refrigeration and come with their own biodegradable packaging (send leftover salt/pepper packets from restaurants for seasoning).

Honestly I’m not sure about what kind of container is allowed! Sending an insulated one with name masking taped on and hoping for the best. I ended up packing a hummus cup, crackers, cheese, carrot sticks, milk, and a nut free m&m butter cookie. I was going to do a jam sandwich but it occurred to me that I think all the bread I buy has nuts and seeds. Good tip about HB eggs - I wasn’t sure about packing them in summer heat, but sounds like they be fine with lightly insulated lunch box and a freezer pack.

Btw camp is tomorrow AM…

I know it’s last minute but can anyone give me some good quick ideas for nut free lunches for elementary kid’s camp? I had a crazy month and with Father’s Day today I’m just unprepared. School lunch allows nuts so I’m used to including foods with nuts for easy protein and fat.
