Camping for dummies: I want to go camping. But I've never been camping as an adult, much less camping with children. I need advice.

I would like to plan my own canoe trips, especially in whitewater. I've gone on a few trips with my old college, but never been the leader. How can I get started in planning fun, safe trips? How would you suggest gaining more experience? And is it a bad idea to go solo?

I have scored a week long wilderness trip. Hurrah for me. Except the last time I went camping was when I was, oh, 14. And I hated it.
This time, I'll be working as well as camping.
So my question to you, gentle woodsfolk of Metafilter, is what can I do to make my week in the wild productive and fun? Rather than the living hell I remember camping to be.
