Outdoor Recreation Camping Activities
Outdoor recreation are important to personal development, and they bring balance to spirit, mind, and body.
Through outdoor recreation, people can explore, and become more familiar with, natural and cultural environments.
Let’s take a look at camping activities in Outdoor Recreation.
Camping is a form of outdoor recreation or outdoor education involving overnight stays with a basic temporary shelter such as a tent. Camping can also include a recreational vehicle, sheltered cabins, a permanent tent, a shelter such as a bivy or tarp, or no shelter at all.
Camping is a key part of many young organizations around the world, such as scouting, which use it to teach both self-reliance and teamwork. School camping trips also have numerous benefits and can play an essential role in the personal growth and development of students.
Camping may be combined with hiking, as in backpacking, and is often enjoyed in conjunction with other outdoor activities such as canoeing, climbing, fishing, and hunting.
Different types of camping may be named after their form of transportation, such as canoe camping, car camping, and backpacking, including ultralight backpacking.
The equipment used in camping varies with intended activity. For instance, in survival camping the equipment consists of small items which have the purpose of helping the camper in providing food, heat and safety.
The equipment used in this type of camping must be lightweight and it is restricted to the mandatory items. Other types of camping such as winter camping involve having specially designed equipment in terms of tents or clothing which is strong enough to protect the camper’s body from the wind and cold.
List of commonly used camping equipment:
- First aid kit
- Tent, lean-to, or other form of shelter
- Hammer or mallet to drive tent stakes into the soil (hammer are often a claw hammer, which is also helpful for removing them)
- Sleeping bag and/or blankets for warmth
- Sleeping pad or air mattress to be placed underneath the sleeping bag for cushioning from stones and twigs, as well as for insulation from the ground
- Lantern or flashlight
- Insect repellent
- Sunscreen for protecting skin
- rope for climbing or incase someone gets stuck
- Personal care products and towel
In summary, camping describes a range of activities and approaches to outdoor accommodation.
