Definition of Outdoor activities

Outdoor activities usually mean activities done in nature away from civilization, such as hill walking, trekking, canoeing, running, kayaking, rafting, climbing, caving, and arguably broader groups such as water sports and snow sports. Other similar activities include photography, cycling, kayaking or just spending time with family
Outdoor activities may be pursued for the purposes of enjoying scenery and nature, relieving stress, finding peace in nature, enjoying life and relaxing. They are alternatives to expensive forms of tourism. Outdoor activities are also frequently used as a medium in education and teambuilding.

Outdoor recreation activities have been defined as those activities that:

are undertaken outside the confines of buildings (i.e., in the outdoors)

do not involve organized competition or formal rules

can be undertaken without the existence of any built facility or infrastructure

may require large areas of land, water and/or air may require outdoor areas of predominantly unmodified natural landscape
