Packed lunch ideas? For kids who don't like sandwiches 8~)

Hello,

My 3 year old sons going to summer camp for a week and he has to take packed lunch and 2 snacks (snacks will be easy), however he doesn't like sandwiches, when at nursery he usually has a hot meal for lunch and same at home
It also said no nuts, 2 of the things I was going to give (pesto pasta and chicken satay) both have nuts in so I assume are not suitable :(
Can anyone suggest any ideas? Thank you x

DS is in his final year at primary school and dislikes school lunches and sandwiches. It’s a real pain! My saviours are stuffed vine leaves (the Lidl ones in tins are lovely), frozen goyoza - cooked and left to go cold, crudités with hummus, dips etc and a hard boiled egg or Ryvita with Boursin/cheese spread (kept separate to avoid sogginess), Greek salad or tabouleh also always go down well, too. I think pesto is ok if you use the fresh one and make sure no cashews in it (DS’s school is nut free, too).
