Things To Do While Camping When It's Too Cold To Swim

Go on the Dunes Walk

Pose with your friends on top of a sand dune

Embrace your friend warmly on top of a sand dune

No wait, that's not what they're doing...

Okay, try to throw your friend OFF the sand dune

...then drop him

...and run away

Climb a tree. On a dune

Do bunny ears. On yourself. Because YOLO

Sit your ass down because Collette says to sit your ass down until someone takes your picture. Possibly related: climbing sand dunes is really freaking hard

Realize you have no idea where the path is and begin to feel like a pack of exiled Egyptians with no manna in sight

Find your way back to the parking lot with no small measure of relief and empty a good part of the dunes out of your shoes

Go to the movies

Photo bomb your daughter...

...repeatedly

Build sand castles

Spend quality time with a book and some popcorn

by a campfire

Play games

 

(Not me, to be clear. Trying to learn cribbage always makes me wonder why people don't read more)

Snuggle a dog. For companionship AND warmth

Have a tomahawk-throwing contest, because what could go wrong? (Angus started kicking dirt around saying "I need a mound")

Have a nap

Play volleyball without a net

Collapse in hilarity watching the "how many teenagers does it take to set up a volleyball net" game

Collapse in further hilarity upon realizing that, instead of volleyball, the teenagers are going to try to play badminton

...in very high winds

...which is really, really hard

Swim anyway
