 Jumpstart

For you to understand the lesson well, do the following activities.

Have fun and good luck!

Activity 1: Read and Understand!

There’s nothing better than a good traditional camping trip to help you
escape from the problems and stresses of everyday life and enjoy yourself in
nature. Camping could be fun for all people of all ages and interests, and it
can be relaxing and extremely exciting affair.
In order to escape this problems and guarantee our entire camping
party successful, we have to have some camping activities in our minds.
Fun Camping Activities
Horseback Riding - One of the most intense sports known to man. Not only
because it's physically challenging, but it takes more than athleticism.
Horseback riding takes commitment, time, patience, and most importantly
building a bond with your horse.
Snorkeling - a plastic breathing tube used for swimming near the surface
with the head underwater. If your campsite is near the ocean you might just
have the chance to do snorkeling to appreciate the sea life.
Fishing – the sport or business of catching fish.
Boating, Canoeing, or Kayaking - A boat can make fishing more fruitful
and more fun. Other watercraft, such as kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards,
make exploring the waters easy and fun.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CAMPING

1. THE FRESH AIR
When you spend time near a lot of trees, you take in more oxygen. That
feeling of happiness that you get when you take your first breath of air at
the campground isn't all in your head--well, technically it is, but it's a
release of serotonin from the extra oxygen. Your body can function with less
strain when there's plenty of oxygen. That's not the only benefit of fresh air.
Research shows that some time outdoors can improve your blood pressure,

5
improve digestion and give your immune system an extra boost. When you
spend a few days outside, you get some serious health benefits from the
extra oxygen and low levels of pollutants.
2. SOCIALIZATION
Camping alone is plenty of fun, but if you bring along a friend or family
member, you'll enjoy a unique experience together that will help you keep a
healthy, happy relationship.
3. IMPROVED MOODS
Regular campers will often talk about how the first few days back from a trip
seem happier.
4. LESS STRESS
Camping also allows you to cope with stress. Stress can negatively affect
your health in just about every way possible, and you're putting much less
strain on your mental and physical faculties by giving yourself some stress-
free time at the campsite.
5. EXERCISE
Let's not forget the most obvious benefit of camping: you're spending a lot of
time performing physical activities.
6. SUNSHINE
Sunshine feels great on your skin, and there's an evolutionary reason for
that. When you're out in direct sunlight, you're taking on a ton of Vitamin D,
which allows your body to absorb calcium and phosphorous.
7. A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP
Assuming that you've got decent camping gear, you'll fall fast asleep after a
day full of outdoor activities.
8. GOOD FOOD
If you're fond of fishing and hunting, you'll likely eat a large amount of
protein and healthy fats on your camping trip.

Direction: Rate the frequency of your participation in physical activities by

putting a check mark (√) on the appropriate box of your answer.

Statements Always Sometimes Never

(3) (2) (1)
1. I accumulate 30 minutes of moderate

6
physical activity most days of the week (brisk
walking, climbing the stairs, farm work, or
home chores)
2. I do vigorous activity that elevates my heart
rate for 20 minutes at least three days a week.
3. I do exercises for flexibility at least three

5. I eat three regular meals each day
6. I select appropriate servings in the food

Discovery

Hiking
Hiking is a great way for the entire family to enjoy the summer weather,
but does require some preparation. The first thing to do after choosing your
hiking route is research – look into surrounding areas and identify any
possible hazards, such as the local wildlife or tough terrain. Also ensure that
the weather is suitable for the location and length of your hike. Before your
trip, equip yourself with a map and ensure your cell phone is fully charged. If
you’re tackling a more difficult hike or are concerned about your endurance,
bring a walking stick or cane to reduce the amount of pressure put on your
knees and leg when you are going up and down hills. This will also help with
your balance along the way!
Aside from the activity-specific list of items to know and include for
your trip, don’t forget to pack the essentials and basics for a fun day outdoors!
Always remember to either wear or pack: sunscreen, bug repellent, bandages,
water, snacks, sunglasses and a hat.
Mountain Climbing
Because mountain climbing is not an everyday activity, figuring out
how to prepare can be difficult. If it is your first time climbing, it is critical to
learn from someone who is a qualified instructor. It’s also a good idea to
start with indoor climbing before venturing outdoors, where external factors
can provide extra challenges.
Overuse injuries are extremely common for mountain climbers, but
steps can be taken to prevent them. Immediately before your climb, warm
up and stretch to help improve your circulation and flexibility, and in turn,
prevent injuries.
Characteristics of Recreation
