I started homeschooling mid way through my last year of middle school (4th grade) but I still did a few of the middle school field trips. In 5th grade the school went on a trip that I went on too, that was much like this trip. There was some bad food, activities, cabins we stayed in but actual running water and flush toilets in a seperate building near the cabins (but I never showered since the trip was only 2 days, 1 night) and the girls and boys were seperated. And we met at a cafeteria building like in the book. There wasn't any mail that I can remember. There was also a night where each class had a campfire. And we didn't actually "raid" the girls cabins but we went to the girls cabins, most of the boys did including one adult (who I knew and he apparently was banned from all school field trips after the "raid") where we knocked on the girls cabins loudly while they happened to be fittingly be telling ghost stories. The teacher in the girls cabins got mad at us and I made it back to our cabin in time to avoid her yelling at every kid once she made it to the boys cabins area. Also no snacks were aloud in, but no ones bags were ever checked but if they caught you with food they would "bust" you. Anyway it was lots of fun and was quite similar to this place and the trip Greg went on. The trip was only 2 days and 1 night and not a whole week and we never slept outside.
