Learning Task 1: WORD GAME

Directions: Copy the word game below on a separate sheet of paper and look for the names of
recreational activities done in our country. Mark your answer by encircling your found words. Lastly,
answer the questions that follow.
Questions:
· 1. What was your initial reaction to the activity? Why?
· 2. Did you experienced some of the listed outdoor recreational activities? If yes, write a short paragraph
narrating your involvement.
- Camping, I tried camping twice when we went to baguio and stayed in some
woods open in public. We were hesitant at first because it might be dangerous
to stay outside because of the temperature but we got accustomed to it
gradually. It was a fun and exciting experience for me because its so peaceful
there and even though its freezing cold, you get to stay with friends all night so
its really worth it

What’s New

What is Outdoor Recreation?
Consider the following activities: bird-watching, caving or spelunking, camping, and snorkeling. When and
why do people engage in the mentioned activities? What is the common factor among them? Answering
these questions will lead to answering what outdoor recreation is all about. Were your answers the same
or close to the following?
· -Done during vacation or school break
· -They want to have fun
· -Done outdoors with nature
· -
Putting the answers together, outdoor recreation is an organized activity done during one’s free time for
his/her reasons, where an interaction between man and an element of nature is present.
Let us break down the ideas to have a common understanding of the terms. When we hear “free time”,
what does it mean to you as a student? “No classes” easily come to mind and consequently will be able to
use the “free time” to do things which you want to do but have been able to do so because of the “lack of
time”, such as continuing a project or undone homework, or perhaps, going out with friends to watch a
movie. A day can be divided into three (3) parts according to Clayne R. Jensen (2006): the existence
time, subsistence time, and free time. Existence time is 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. Free time,
therefore, is all the remaining time after. How one decides to spend free time varies from person to
person. Perhaps, to those who have been very busy with workload or schoolwork, this is the best time to
do recreational activities, to relax, to rejuvenate.
Recreation is derived from the Latin word recreare which means to be refreshed. Choices for recreation
vary from person to person. What makes one happy may not be so for others. Therefore, recreational
activities depend on one’s interests, pursuits, and needs which may be reflective of one’s beliefs and level
of gratification. For example, a natural park may serve as a bonding place for a family to have a picnic, a
great fitness area for a jogger, and a place to commune with nature or meditate for others.
The outdoors in a broad sense is a space outside an enclosed area. Narrowing it down, outdoors, as
used in this discussion, includes the natural environment and resources which comprises the land, water,
wildlife, vegetation, open space, and scenery. The outdoors may be in its most natural state or “semi-
natural state”, which is a state where it had gone through some human modification but has retained its
natural features.
-People engage in outdoor recreational activities for varied reasons. Some do it for personal satisfaction
and enjoyment. Perhaps, it is a time away from the day-today routine. Others do it to be in touch with
nature, which they rarely have the chance to do, especially for those who reside in highly urbanized
areas. Many do it for personal pursuits such as photography, collecting seashells, reaching the top of Mt.
Apo, conquering the rapids of the Cagayan River, or attaining a fitness level. Some individuals or groups
do it as part of outdoor or environmental education, such as bird-watching, plant naming, etc. whatever
reason they may be, people engage in outdoor recreational activity for their own sake and pleasure,
voluntarily, and of their own choice.
In this unit, different outdoor recreational activities will be presented and discussed to encourage you to
start living a more active lifestyle that will contribute to your overall wellness.

What is It
What are the different outdoor recreational activities?
The Philippines is rich in natural resources. Despite being a relatively small country, it is surrounded by all
kinds of land formations and natural water resources. It has been listed in The World Factbook (Maps of
World, n.d.) as having the fifth (5th) longest coastline in the world. Its natural environment has so much to
offer, whether on land, on water, or even in the air. It hosts varied outdoor recreational activities, some of
which are the following:

What are the benefits of outdoor recreation?

Fun and pleasure are perhaps the immediate answers of the majority who have experience outdoor
activities. However, there is more to it than just the fun. Studies have shown that being close to the
natural environment is healthy. Aside from the fresh air and the amazing sight of nature, the outdoors has
positive effects on the general wellness of an individual most especially if it is done with regularity.
Wellness encompasses the general state of a person (physical, social, psycho-emotional, and spiritual)
and in the end, contributes to a better quality of life.
Health Benefits of Outdoor Recreation
1. Improves your mental wellbeing
Your mental wellbeing greatly improves when you exercise outdoors. One of the reasons for this is the
awareness that your mind has throughout the exercise, particularly with the changing terrain and weather.
Unlike in the gym where the floors are flat and benches evenly positioned, the terrain outdoor includes
winding paths, hills, woods, and valleys. You are forced to be focused and alert at all times and that alone
benefits your mental health.
The mental health benefits of being outside, in general, are exponential and there is an array of options
for you to choose to spend your time doing.
2. Best way to get Vitamin D
Your bones and blood cells need a lot of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D for them to be healthy.
Working out under the sunlight helps your body to absorb these minerals seamlessly. Also, getting 5-15
minutes of sun at least once every two days gives your body all the Vitamin D it needs.
3. Boosts self-esteem
Your self-esteem increases exponentially when you spend time with friends doing different outdoor
activities. This effect is particularly strong when you spend time near water, green areas, and within
sounds of nature such as waterfalls.
Walking along nature trails, fishing, and gardening, among other moderate-intensity physical activities,
are important for your esteem as well. Playing with paintball guns or laser guns is another worthy activity
as it gives you a renewed sense of accomplishment, which is a major confidence boost.
4. Promotes memory
Nature walks have shown a significant relevance in memory retention among humans. Walking around
trees, for example, promotes your memory by more than 20%.
5. Stress-reduction effects
Cortisol – The hormone that indicates the level of stress in humans-reduces greatly when you spend time
in the forest, say, watching birds and taking part in low-intensity outdoor activities. Camping in the woods,
for example, is a far much better activity than spending time in the city, especially for people who suffer
from anxiety.
It has also been scientifically proven that people who spend more time in the wild have a better heart rate
than those who spend hours sitting in front of screens or city traffic.
6. Reduces anxiety
As we have mentioned above, something about the outside calming down an anxious mind. You will
attest to this fact even if you aren’t fond of going out-you have experienced the calming nature of Mother
Nature even if it is through a house plant or pictures of nature.
Many offices nowadays have nature wall arts hanging on office walls as a way of calming down angry,
stressed, and anxious employees. If that works, then you can imagine the significance of being in the
presence of that waterfall or mountain you see in office wall art.
Nevertheless, if you continue having anxieties and the episodes don’t stop, you can hire the services of a
life coach training who can provide assistance and help you find calmness.
7. Improves the quality of your sleep
Your sleep cycle is dependent on the accurateness of your internal clock. If the clock isn’t working right,
then you will have a hard time regulating your night's sleep.
The clock works right when the cells in your eyes get enough sunlight during the day, particularly before
mid-day.
That is why you need to be out as many minutes as possible in the morning hours. This requirement
becomes more important as you get older.
8. Boosts your immunity
Morning sunlight boosts your Vitamin D levels. The more the Vitamin D your body gets, the stronger its
immune system becomes.
On top of that, being within outdoor plants helps you leverage the health benefits of the phytoncides and
other organic compounds that plants produce. These compounds boost immune function in humans.
9. Helps burn some unwanted fat
When you play outside – say, while out doing water activities, you burn tons of calories and unwanted
fats. And because being outdoor during the day helps you to sleep better, coupled with the fact that better
sleep facilitates faster weight loss, the role of outdoor time in your physical fitness can never be
overemphasized.
Social Benefits of Outdoor Recreation
Outdoor activities are ways for families to become closer. They can be a “family-bonding activity” as each
family member participates in an activity, achieves a common goal, and goes through the same
experience.
Spending time outdoors allows one to meet and interact with others who share the same passion for
outdoor recreation. Participating in a team will help form lasting friendship and develop a community.
Outdoor recreation also promotes stewardship. Activities done outdoors in the natural setting help in
making people realize great things that nature provides mankind. Increased knowledge and appreciation
help them understand how personal actions can strongly affect the environment. Thus, people’s feelings
and connection with the nature are the greatest motivation for them to care for the natural environment
and advocate its preservation.
Economic Benefits of Outdoor Recreation
People who have a relaxed body and mind tend to be more productive at work. This translates into
efficiency at the workplace.
“It’s more fun in the Philippines!” as the Department of Tourism slogan goes. Indeed, it is more fun as well
for everyone involved in ecotourism activities in the Philippines. It has been rewarding for the local folks
as ecotourism in our country created jobs and other economic activities which have, one way or another,
contributed to our economic growth.
Spiritual Benefits of Outdoor Recreation
Positive outdoor experiences can stir up spiritual values. Being one with nature brings certain calmness
within a person. It strengthens an individual as it heals, rejuvenates, and soothes the body and soul.
What are the important things that should be remembered when participating in an outdoor
recreational activity?
It has been established earlier that outdoor recreation is an interaction between man and nature. The
interaction should come with care and respect. It is important that in using and enjoying what nature
offers, an equal responsibility in conserving and preserving it must be consciously employed by the
people. This way, everyone can continue to go back and have future generations experience the great
things in nature that the current generation has. The “Leave No Trace Seven Principles” is a set of
universal outdoor ethics that guides one in the activities to do with nature. It also provides the framework
for making decisions in outdoor recreation. Taken from the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics’
official website, the principles are as follows:
Principle 1: Plan Ahead and Prepare
· -Before going to a place, check if your planned activity is permitted. Make sure to know the rules,
guidelines, and safety procedures they have set. Some places require certain permits or clearances.
· -Make sure you have the needed equipment for your activity and the skills needed to undertake the
activity.
· -Plan how to cope when emergency arises.
· -Check the weather forecast and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
· -Learn when areas are most crowded and try to avoid those times.
· -To minimize environmental impact and for safety reasons, keep group numbers small.
· -Repack food to minimize waste.
· -When trekking, maps and compass must be used to avoid markings or leaving of marks on rocks and the
like.
Principle 2: Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
· -Walk, run, bike, or camp on durable surfaces like established tracks, rocks, gravel, and dry grasses.
· -Avoid walking on soft surfaces like soft plants. You might be trampling on a young tree or pasture and
this will cause vegetation damage.
· -Use existing trails or campsites, no need to build a new campsite that will alter the environment.
· -To avoid erosion, walk in single file in the middle of the trail.
· -Avoid places where impacts are just beginning to show.
· -When camping, keep the campsite small and discreet.
· -Camp at least 200 feet from the lakes and rivers to protect the waters.
Principle 3: Dispose Waste Properly
· -“Pack it in, pack it out” means everything you brought should be brought back with you including left-
over food or fruit peel. Nothing should be left.
· -When camping, cat holes are dug (6-8 inches deep) for human waste and covered just the same with soil
and weeds or leaves on top.
· -Dishes should be washed 200 feet away from lakes or rivers and use biodegradable soap. Scatter strained
dishwater.
Principle 4: Leave What You Find
· -Examine archeological structures, old walls, and other heritage artifacts but do not touch nor leave marks
on them.
· -Leave nature as you found them. Do not take any plant, rock, plants, or marine animal with you.
· -Avoid introducing non-native plants and animals.
