There are two main factors when camping out as a kid ...
First, getting all the various tools and gadgets you will need to sleep, play games and fight off all the inevitable monsters and creatures that will ultimately kill you in your sleep. Second, food. You need lots and lots of snacks to survive the night. I mean we would get enough to last a week, and while we didn't always make it all night, the food was ALWAYS gone.
