AWESOME THINGS TO INDULGE IN ON A CAMPING DAY AT THE BEACH

Lately, the summertime vengeance is gearing its way for approval – it’s here to stay and you realize that you really can’t do anything about the scorching sun and the not-so-glorious sunburns other than to enjoy the weather. With humidity at its peak and perspiration hogging up your clothes, you decide to go towards a fun retreat where you can relax despite these summertime woes.

Sure, staying cooped up indoors is one of the options you can agree with – the mall, for starters – but let’s face it; you don’t want the season to go without enjoying a little bit of a summertime splash and an icy cold slush.

We’re Going Camping at the Beach

The Institute of Education at Plymouth University  advocates spending a significant amount of time in the great outdoors and camping sites at least once a year in order to be healthier and happier all year long.

Whether you plan on going away with your family or your friends, camping is apparently one of the options that instantly hit your head for the perfect weekend retreat. The beach is just lurking around with its huge sand spread and not to mention, the waves that just won’t quit.

Spending your time around dunes and tides might be a perfect way to do some soul-searching as well. Imagine yourself standing underneath a dark blue sky with your tent perched in a campsite this summer – this whole idea of Camping in Europe is what we call an ideal retreat.

Activities to Participate at Camping 

Speaking of games, let’s talk about 5 fun-filled activities that we think you can indulge in while camping.

Take a Stroll Under the Moonlight

A study advocated that spending time outdoors – even if it was for a few minutes – causes reduction in depressive symptoms and stressing factors. The city is crowded and it underlies a lot of stressing factors – especially from your daily life and hectic work schedules – but in order to regain your sanity, you’ve to take care of your mental health by participating in activities that are good for you.

Walk around the beach with your flashlight pointing in your destination, and explore the nature as you go along. Go towards the ocean and take the liberty of wading in the water – seaweeds and all – for some time till you huff a sigh of relief.

Break the Ice with Stories

Telling stories at camping is another way to break the ice with your family and bond over a thermos of hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows. You can tell stories from your experiences – grandparents would love that – or you can simply have a little contest for the best fictional stories ever told.

Indulge in funny, scary, sci-fi or even a loose romantic story at the beach. You’ve time to kill and ears to fill.

The Water Olympics

We hate to break it to you but you didn’t come on the beach to stay inside your perched tent or reading a newspaper in your hammock. With your family, friends or colleagues at bay, consider taking part in ‘the Water Olympics’ to get a taste of that adrenaline rush that had abandoned you long ago.

Indulging in floatation activities during the Water Olympics will not only be good for exercise, but will also help you to relieve stress and headaches, and other dysfunctional symptoms related to insomnia, arthritis and hypertension.

Scavenger Hunt

Your camping retreat isn’t complete without the uber-basic yet exciting scavenger hunt. You can plan a scavenger hunt in the middle of the day, when all of you had your lunch and are thoroughly rested. You can look for shells at the beach and reward the person with the maximum number as a contest.

Bonfire

A raging bonfire is perhaps one of the major essentials of any camping activity. Take your stereo along, and act like a DJ for a day. Head the turntable if you’re playing vinyl records or handle the aux if you’re simply plugging in music from your phone or iPod.

While there’s a raging bonfire, all of you can also indulge in a simple game of ‘Hide and Seek’ or ‘Truth or Dare’ with potential rewards. You can also play charades at the beach with your set of guessing rules so that the children can enjoy as well.

Enjoy your weekend retreat to the maximum – there might be a long calling before you can make another trip. Make sure you make it with the right people who help you relax and unwind as well. Take along your cocktails and beers and indulge in a night away from the usual drama
