Kitchens are the main source of water waste in a camp, and it's something many camps decide isn't worth it in the end. Between clean up responsibilities that often fall on one person when they're not done, and the hassle of communal vs private tools and equipment, I'm not sure that it'll be worth it in the end.
Now, What I DO believe would be worth it, is finding a nice firepit/half steel drum, in order to start a fire in safely, and then use THAT as our only cooking option. Tons of things can be cooked over an open fire. And if someone wants to bring a pan, they can.
Someone would need to volunteer to bring enough wood, and that's a real hassle, and someone would need to volunteer to bring the fire pit, also a large hassle.

My plan before the camp was getting organized, and what I might do regardless, is canned goods, like chef boyardee, left out in the sun open when hot, and eat. simple, little mess, and much more eco friendly. That and there's no worry about needing to freeze anything. If I decide a cooler is worth it, I'll bring one, and then add hotdogs and bacon to the mix, both which can be cooked in a solar pringles can cooker.(look it up)
