Concept of Recreation
What I Need To Know
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Discuss the nature and background of recreation;
2. Identify the different recreational activities.

What’s New

Activity 1: LET’S DANCE

Stretch. Stretch. Stretch. I know that you are already bored at home. But hey,
break the ice by dancing to the music of your choice. You want Budots or Tik-Tok? Let all the
family members take turn in dancing your hearts away. With this activity, you will not only forget
the boredom you experienced the whole long vacation but unknowingly, you have stretched
your muscles. It’s a good bonding with the whole family, too!

2
 What Is It?
It’s been months that you are staying at home. It was a longer vacation that you
experienced because of the threat of the COVID-19. You may be bored but don’t worry. You
can turn the things around you into something that gives you self-gratification. There are
many recreational activities you can do to relax and to enjoy.
Any activity that takes place during your free time is referred to as recreation. It does
not follow standard rules; it can be done anywhere; and most of all, it gives enjoyment and
self-satisfaction. Recreation is derived from the Latin word, “recreare” which means to be
refreshed (mapasigla), to relax or to enjoy. Participation in recreational activities varies from
one person to another depending on one’s intention, reason or belief.
How do you spend your free time? Recreation is categorized into active recreation
and passive recreation. Active recreational activities include jogging, swimming, hiking,
biking or gardening while passive recreational activities include watching television, listening
to music or reading books. Moreover, active recreational activities can be done indoor or
outdoor. Where do you prefer to do recreational activities? It depends on you. Whether
indoor or outdoor, what matters most is its holistic impact on you as a person.
Having in touch with nature can give so much relaxation. Walking on green grass by
the woods or just watching birds early in the morning while holding hands with your loved
ones (family) is a unique bonding time away from the day-to-day routine. Others love to do
these activities in water while those adventurers would prefer more on air. Our country has
many places to explore and to start many recreational activities, whether on land, in air or
on water. In your community, what activities can you offer? Have you tried it before?

Lesson 3
Mountaineering (Hiking, Trekking, Camping, Orienteering)

What’s In

How was your aquatic activity at home? Did you just enjoy a bucket of water in taking
a bath or you just had a very relaxing time while singing under the shower? Perhaps, you
made your own version of a bathtub or a swimming pool where you completely submerged
your body to be refreshed from the very hot days during your vacation. Only if you were
allowed to go out on hiking or jogging and feel the cold breeze early in the morning, you
would have been doing it on a daily basis in order to stay fit. Did you miss it already? Relax
and enjoy as you are about to explore the caves of knowledge and climb the mountains of
activities this lesson is going to offer you.

2. Misamis Oriental b. Mt. Hibok-Hibok

Are you planning a walk after the community quarantine? How about a longer walk
with your loved ones (family and friends)? Have you explored the mountains, hills, caves,
forests or hidden falls in/near your community? If your answer is no, then think again.
Maybe you are still a stranger in your own place.
Consider some outdoor recreational activities that bring you closer to nature. It is
very relaxing to hear the sound of singing birds and bubbling brooks; very soothing when
you feel the breath of fresh air on your face and smell the divine fragrance of flowers. A line
in an energy beverage commercial says, “Great things start from small beginning.” So, start
your recreational activities with hiking and/or jogging even within your compound this
season.
To fully understand, the following terms related to mountaineering are defined below.

Recreational Definition
Activity
Hiking It is an outdoor activity where there are clear paths to follow. Paths are
usually beautifully charted with signs so that hikers won’t get lost along the
trails. Natural hiking trails serve as guides of the hikers to their destinations. It
is usually shorter than trekking.
Trekking This outdoor activity is a longer journey on foot compared to hiking. The
activity is quite challenging, allowing the trekkers to pass through an
uncharted paths. Sometimes, this will take within a few days or weeks.
Usually, undeveloped places are explored in trekking where there is a close-
up view of the wonders of nature.
Camping Camping is an enjoyable outdoor activity that allows you to experience
simple adventures outside your homes. It allows a lot of moving since it
involves activities like carrying backpacks, hiking and most of all pitching of
tents. This activity lets you experience interaction and bonding with others
while engaging in different educational activities.
Orienteering It is an outdoor activity that requires you to follow a specific sequence of pre-
set course with the help of navigating devices, specifically maps and
compass to go through an unfamiliar terrain. Aside from physical, this activity
requires mental toughness to be able to reach the expected destination.
You can always make your own version of these recreational activities at home. Just
be creative and innovative. Even a simple household chore can be converted into
something that will give you and your loved ones an avenue to enjoy, relax and bond with
one another during quarantine period.

What Can I Do?

1. In times of crisis, food is our most essential basic need. Considering the many
challenges, to include finances, faced by your breadwinners, you can always help them
bring nutritious food on the table to eat. How? Cultivate your vacant lot into a vegetable
garden. If you are living in an urban community, make an innovation by cultivating an urban
garden using recyclable materials as your pots/plots. In your little ways, you can bring joy to
their hearts and at the same time, keep yourself fit through this physical activity.
