OUTDOOR
: RECREATION
Outdoor
activities usually mean activities done in nature away from civilization, such
as hill walking, trekking, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, climbing, caving, and
arguably broader groups such as water sports and snow sports. Other similar
activities include photography, biking, kayaking or just spending time with
family.Outdoor
activities are practised for the purposes of enjoying scenery and nature, relieving
stress, finding peace in nature, enjoying life and relaxing. They are alternatives
to expensive forms of tourism. Outdoor sport is also frequently used as an extremely
effective medium in education and teambuilding.
Recreation or fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic
refreshment of one's body or mind. While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment
or rest, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting
manner. As people in the world's wealthier regions lead increasingly sedentary
life styles, the need for recreation has increased. The rise of so called active
vacations exemplifies this.(1)
