You will be wanting to roast marshmallows on the campfire, and make somemores. Just in case you don't know, they are two graham squares, with part of a Hershey bar and a roasted marshmallow made into a sandwich. Yum.
I love a jello salad. They are easy and fun. My favorite is fruit cocktail in raspberry jello. the trick is to drain off the fruit cocktail juice and reserve to use as part of your cold liquid. Put it in a measure cup and fill the measure up to one cup of liquid with water. You can put tiny marshmallows on top or not, you can cut up a banana in it or not. This is great to serve with hot dogs and picnic foods.
I would serve corn on the cob, this time of the year it is in the frozen food section in the grocery. Have the butter ready!

If you do not want somemores for dessert, try this one. You can make it in a 13x9 metal pan, or a pie pan, buy one carton of ice cream for the pie, two for the cake pan.
Soften premium vanilla ice cream. Crush oreo cookies in a plastic bag. Press some crumbs into the bottom of the pan. put on a layer of ice cream. Layer some more oreos, and put this in the freezer for 15 minutes. Add another layer of ice cream. Garnish with some more oreos. Freeze until solid. Cut the cake/pie, serve onto a plate, top with a little hot fudge or Hershey's syrup if you want. May use any flavor of ice cream you want. Or even do half one kind, half another.
