    I only have been to camping and have done several boat riding but there are several recreational activities such as hiking, fishing bike riding, skiing and mountain climbing.

    Maybe someone can suggest their best outdoor activities.

    I love outdoor activities because I love adventure and fun. My usual outdoor activity is traveling the beautiful places in our country. I enjoy watching the sunset in the beaches and sailing in the deep blue sea.

    Next to traveling is cycling and hiking. I usually do these with my husband. We make these activities to be physically fit.

    Online taking long walks in the park. Just being out in nature is so relaxing. Canoeing is also a favorite outdoor activity. It’s a great way to unwind and have fun.

    In this age, where children are suffering from obesity, outdoor activities form an important part of their life. Outdoor activities have long term benefits on their health. Adequate outdoor activity increases health and physical development by improving sensory development, reducing obesity and stimulating blood cells.

    Health benefits
    Outdoor activities help kids stay fit and active which will benefit them in the long run. They can ward off health problems like obesity and heart ailments later in life. Some kids frequently fall ill; being active in life will help them stay healthy; they will feel hungry and have meals on time. Since they will feel tired by the end of the day, they will sleep on time too.

    Makes them competitive
    When kids play outside, they gain a sense of mastery and competency skills. They try climbing, running; throwing and they feel they can do it, which in turn builds up their confidence level. Even when they are playing any game and they win the game, it helps in developing the winning spirit. It’s a best way to boost their self-esteem as well.

    Learning working in groups
    When kids play with other kids, they learn to interact in groups, learn building strategy to win. They learn to adjust with kids of different temperament. This will help them when they grow up, in both their professional and personal life.

    Giving a sense of freedom
    When kids play outdoors, adults are generally more lenient with them. They feel a sense of freedom. They feel more enthusiastic and energetic and want to discover themselves.

    Take them to the beach, let them let go of themselves. Let them play in the sand, make sand castles, take them play in the water.

    Learning social skills
    Often when kids play, they have a lot of loud interactions and physical movements with other kids. At times they might not know the other kids they have to play with especially in schools, and that helps them develop social skills. They learn to be cordial and try and work well in groups often developing qualities like leadership and co-operation. They learn to interact with other children, often bonding over games and developing long lasting friendships.

    Learning to appreciate nature
    Parents should take their kids for treks and nature camps. They will understand nature and science better. This will help them relax and sooth all the five senses. You should teach them to respect nature. Try doing activities like gardening, planting trees, flower exhibition which help them to understand nature.

    In this age, where children are so tech savvy, it might be challenging for parents to take your child away from television, computers and video games. But you should make outdoor activities fun according to your child’s interests and slowly they will learn its importance.

    Try hiking! Hiking can be fun and rewarding and is very fexable for your outdoor wants and needs. Depending on where you live, hikes can very in length, intensity level, distance, and total hiking time. Again depending on where you live the view of the hike will very. But some of the hardest hikes are accompanied by the most rewarding views.
    If you live near skiing mountains some of them might have fun day activities like roap courses, zip lines, tram rides, or even mini roller coasters down the mountain.
