The term GORP is often used my campers and hikers in North America. Some people say it is an acronym for “good ol’ raisins and peanuts,” but others say it is an old term meaning “to eat greedily.” Either way, it is delicious and satisfying, making it the perfect snack. 

Get creative with your ingredients! GORP or trail mix is traditionally made with nuts, raisins and candy but you can add whatever you want! Kids love to make this recipe. Try putting out all of the available ingredients and allowing children to make their own personal mix.
