You know what we'll never outgrow? Cream cheese sandwiches. We're using these four ideas as a starting point for kids' camp lunches. Heck, we're even giving the classic cream cheese-cucumber combo an upgrade (seriously, the mint addition is so good).

Hopefully these four ideas will inspire you to give peanut butter the day off and try one of these creamy combinations. And if you wanted to use labneh or Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese, that's cool by us, too.
