Any tips on doing P90X/Insanity at a Boy Scout Camp?

For much of next week, I'll be attending a Boy Scout camp with a troop. I'm not attending in a leadership role so I will hopefully be able to fit in my workouts while the leaders are with the boys.

They do have some electrical outlets that I can use and I'm planning to do the workouts that don't require pull-ups. That way, no one will complain when they see a heavy guy bending a tree over while using a branch to do pull-ups.

I'm taking my push up bars and dumbbells and I was told that there is mostly dirt (along with some grassy meadows) that I can use to work out.

Has anyone done this? Do you happen to have tips about how to make it work better?

Thanks!

    In addition, I'm going to bring my food separately so I can keep up on my diet. The boys tend to eat some delicious food that doesn't fit in with my goals.

    I plan to fill a cooler with ice and bring the refrigerated food in that and bring along the protein bars, etc.

    Maybe buy a cheap set of bands for the pullup/dumbbell exercises. They'll be easier to carry and a lot lighter. I applaud your diligence in packing your own food. Also try tuna pouches, beef jerkey, and nuts. They don't need to be refrigerated and are light weight.

    Thanks for the good ideas. Gratefully, we will be car camping so weight won't be as much of a concern.

    Just to clarify what I mean by car camping: it means that I can drive my car to the tent.
