Packed lunch for 8 year old

DSC8 normally has school lunches so we don’t often have to make a packed lunch. when typing this out it seems a lot, but he’s always hungry and always asking for a snack, so would rather he has a good choice although he isnt fussy at all. It is for an all day sports camp he is attending one day next week so not sure on breaks/snack/lunch timings. Is this okay or too much? I’m probably overthinking it!

cheese wrap
strawberries
peeled satsuma
crisps
yogurt tube or pouch
cheese string or babybel
Sweet snack biscuits or soreen bar
refillable water bottle

My DD is off to football camp this week and today she's got a cheese sandwich, crisps, a pot of cucumber and carrots sticks, apple, crackers, plain biscuits and a chocolate cake bar. She's also got a pound for tuck shop too.

She's a slow eater and I don't know how much time she has to eat but I'm sure she'll be begging me for a snack at 4pm when I pick her up.
