 Recreational physical activities or “recreational activities”, are less structured and less planned than
exercise. Leisure-time physical activities usually involve a great deal of time.
What sets these activities apart from traditional exercise routines is that they intrinsically
motivated and are enjoyable.

 Nature and Background of
Outdoor Recreation
Outdoor recreation is any activity that is pursued outdoors during
leisure-time.
It can be defined further as any physical activity that contributes to
achieving the recommended amounts each day.
This ranges from simple activities such as jogging, in the park with our
family, to the more extreme such as mountain biking, caving or camping
overnight in the mountains.
The outdoors provides us with a whole new range of activities present for
SLIDESMANIA.COM

us that we are unable to do indoors.

 Why do we need to
participate in
outdoor recreation
activities?
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 The outdoors serves as our classroom that teaches us how to
understand ourselves better and how nature connects with us.
Participation in outdoor recreation activities can be used as a tool
for learning experiences.
And through participation in these activities, we are able to
understand our natural environment.
Its relationships and significance to human life.
Participating in outdoor activities is a daunting task yet also an
experiential activity.
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 We use of all our senses to fully understand our natural
environment.
We keep an eye out of danger, listen to new or different sounds
and smell new and peculiar aromas.
We must always engage as some outdoor activities pose a certain
degree of risk and danger that is not present participating in
lifestyle related physical and sport activities.
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 Planning outdoor activities considers several variables; your skill
and fitness level, the skills and fitness levels of other participants,
the weather, the terrain, and the type of activity you are going to
do, among others.
Outdoor activities expose you to greater risk than what is
normally experienced in indoor activities. This risk exposes us to
more danger and possible injury. Thus, it is always important to
be prepared for any possible outcome.

 Did you know that Cloud Nine in Siargao, a teardrop-shaped island in Siargao del Norte, is home to the
9th Best Surf Spot in the World, according to a list released by the travel website of the Cable News
SLIDESMANIA.COM

Network (CNN).
 What is Outdoor Recreation?
It is an organized activities done during one’s free time for his/her free
own personal reasons, where an interaction between man and an element
of nature is present.
Clayne R. Jensen (2006) said that they can be divided into three parts:
existence time, subsistence time and free time.

Existence time- is the time spent for biological needs like having a meal,
sleeping and other personal care.
Subsistence time- refers to the hours spent for economic purposes such as
going to work, chores, and for students’ hours spent in school and school work.
SLIDESMANIA.COM

Free time- is all remaining time after.

 Outdoors in a broad sense is a space outside an enclosed area. Includes the natural environment and
resources which comprises the land, water, wildlife, vegetation, open space and scenery.

People engage in outdoor

recreational activities for varied
reasons. Some do it for personal
satisfaction and enjoyment.
Many do it for personal pursuit
such as photography, collecting
sea shells, reaching the top of Mt.
Apo, conquering the rapids of
Cagayan River, or attaining a
SLIDESMANIA.COM

certain fitness level.

 The Philippines is rich in natural resources despite being in a relatively small
country which is surrounded by all kinds of land formations and natural water
resources.
According to the World Factbook (Maps of the World) it has been listed as
having the fifth longest coastline in the world.
Outdoor recreation activities require social interaction. It is dangerous to
participate in some outdoor activities by yourself.
You are more exposed to risk and danger if you do these activities on your
own.
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 Because of the team building nature of outdoor recreation activities, you will
learn how to place your trust on your teammates and together, you come up
with solutions to face possible dangers.
You will also learn how to make good decisions in the outdoors.
Challenge activities are challenge in which the solutions are not always
obvious, whereas initiative refer to a person’s prerogative on how to confront
challenges or how to encourage groups to solve problems together.
Challenge initiatives provide venues for teams to process information
together, understand social interactions, and practice problem solving.
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 These skills are essential in the outdoors as trials may present themselves and
the solutions may not be obvious.
During the process of participating in outdoor activities together, you get to
learn more about the people you are with and notice things about them (their
attitudes, personalities, capabilities, skills, etc.) that you may not have
previously noticed.
It is no wonder then that private and public companies use the outdoors for
SLIDESMANIA.COM

team building activities as a way of strengthening employee and building

better connections among each other.
 Leadership is one of the attributes that will appear during some of these
activities.
You will notice that certain individuals will stand out and take the lead in
organizing the group and making sure the group and making sure the group
achieves its objectives.
This leader can even be you!
The growing nature of outdoor activities makes it necessary for an outdoor
leader to facilitate these activities and to lead the group, minimize injury, and
maximize participation from the members.

 Experience and technical skills are essentials to running an outdoor activity.
While there are many outdoors activities to choose, the Philippines has many
destinations for hiking and most of which can be located within an hour or
two hours from urbanized areas.
Hiking can be accomplished by walking for several hours, so you would need
to allot one full day for this.
Serious hikers can challenge themselves by opting to do multi-day hikes or
choosing mountains that are more technically challenging.

 Benefits of Outdoor Recreation
A quality learning experience in the outdoors requires preparation.
You are asked to take risks and challenge yourself.
Participation in outdoor activities rewards yourself with improved
self-esteem, confidence, and hopefully more interest to develop your
outdoor skills.

In addition, it also addresses our psychological, spiritual, and emotional
SLIDESMANIA.COM

needs.
 Benefits of Outdoor Recreation
Therefore, it is important to learn how our actions affect the environment.
Participation in outdoor recreation activities means we must learn how to
do our part in being good stewards of the environment.
Fun and pleasure are perhaps the immediate answers of the majority who
have experienced outdoor activities.
