Outdoor activity

The past couple years have changed my perspectives on where I see myself in the future since starting this major. I am currently looking for a career that works with youth and outdoor recreation. When I think about the skills that I have acquired throughout my life they all seem to lead me in this particular direction. Outdoor recreation is more than just a job or a career, it’s my whole personality; so when I think of a career path in that field I know that I will be passionate about it,…

The space available in the outdoor play environment allows children to participate in more active physical activities and provides a setting for children to express themselves, move, explore and learn their bodies capabilities through different physical plays (Little & Sweller, 2015, para. 5).

further more risk levels increase in both deprived backgrounds and younger children (Brussoni, Olsen, Pike &, Sleet, 2012) with most occurring in homes. Outdoor play is deemed to be a high-risk activity for unintentional injuries in children (Brussoni et al., 2012) though limitations placed on the child to reduce risk while participating in these activities can be associated with development problems in both a physical and mental sense.

Certain people love the outdoors. They would jump at the opportunity to do anything outdoors. In my case though, I would not be as excited to do anything outdoors especially camping. I’m not a very outdoorsy person. I’d rather be inside than camp outside. Though it wasn’t always like that. When I was still in elementary school, I was in boy scouts. I loved participating in boy scouts. I loved hanging out with my friends in boy scouts and I loved participating in the activities.…

very few can be applied straight to outdoor leading situations without needing heavy adaptations. COLT is one theory that was specifically created for the outdoor leader, and Burns ' Transactional and Transformational theories also fit nicely into outdoor situations.

There are four basic environmental parameters influencing the overall thermal comfort (refer to figure 2.1). It include: air temperature, radiation, relative…
