 Activity 1: Outside Our Home Walk or Scavenger Hunt
Walking is an excellent way of introducing great outdoors. In today’s life you spend
a lot of time indoors. But walking in the neighborhood or along a given route allows you to
become more aware of the buildings, trees etc. that you pass by every day. It helps
increase your visual awareness. It leads to one’s independence and increases your
confidence. It helps in the development of appreciation and respect for your beautiful
environment. Start this module by doing the following:

Outside Our Home Walk:

1. Take a walk outside your home. On your walk outside, you write places found in your
community ex. Bgy. hall, basketball courts, health center etc.
2. Examine each place in detail for:
a. color,
b. size,
c. its uses,
d. what is beside it/behind it and where it is placed in relation to the other places on
the list?
3. Organize everything that you see using the acronym of your barangay or hometown.
An example below has been provided for you.

Scavenger Hunt:

You will find something for each of the following letters of the name of your HOMETOWN or
BARANGAY.
For example:
B-oarding houses__ N-et shop
A-quatic facility__ O-ffice
K ___x____ R-esto bar
A-aqua check H2o station T-ea shop
K ___x____ E-atery
E-atery ____
N-et shop ___
G-aming shop__

How did you feel about giving closer attention to your environment? Describe the air outside as
compared indoors, the places you have found and the people you have met and in general the
whole environment. Write your reflection below:

What are Outdoor Activities

Relaxed, relieved, satisfied and enjoyment are some words

that can describe the feeling of most of us who have experienced
being in the outdoors for recreation. For those who have not tried,
you will agree that you feel the same way when you go out for a
walk in the neighborhood as compared to when you are inside the
house for quiet sometime.

Yes, there's indeed fun in the outdoors! You enjoy it because it

provides new and different experiences from the everyday routine. To sit
with pals around a campfire, singing, stunting or just talking about the adventures of the
day, the problems of tomorrow, the hopes of the future-that’s genuine enjoyment. To swing
along a trail with your best friends, carrying your wilderness home, your food and simple
tools for camping on your back, that's fun, because you like the freedom of the open sky
and the company of regular guys "who can take it." You'll take your fishing rod and, with a
pal, work up the stream. On another occasion you will climb mountains, rivers to float, and
seas to sail. All these have their own special opportunities related to activities, skills and fun
that nature provides and to some few are intentionally designed for you.

Outdoor and adventure activities are recreational pursuits which are usually done
away from the comforts of the urban setting. The activities take place in the mountains, on
rivers, in the air or simply in the countryside. These include various activities such as
mountain climbing, rock climbing, hiking and camping, hunting and fishing, canoeing,
kayaking and rafting, Sailing and motorboating, biking, horseback riding, skiing, restoration
and conservation volunteering
It has been expressed that the best way to support mental health and wellbeing is
to do any outdoor activity that involves focusing on any form of physical movement in the
real world. It doesn’t have to be physically demanding, so long as the activity uses your
mind to move your body and interact with the physical world. It could be physical
exercise, gardening, making something, photography, camping, or spending time sharing
outdoor experiences with people you love being with.

Outdoor activities help to break that cycle of spending too much time thinking and
dwelling on things without moving your body or interacting with the physical
world. Outdoor activities force your mind to focus on the here and now, and free your
mind from those freewheeling thoughts that just lock you into a state of perpetual
anxiety. Before you know it, you will find yourself totally absorbed in the outdoor activities

 you are doing and find that sense of calm and wellbeing you have been seeking. But you
need to find the right activity for you.

How can Outdoor and Adventure activities benefit you?

Outdoor and adventure activities obviously require

you to engage in physical activities. Therefore, number
one in the list of the benefits that one can get from
participating in these activities would include fitness such
as cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and to
certain extent, weight management. However,
researches through the years have proven that its benefits
go beyond the physical aspect which includes the
following:
a. physical health
b. mental health and wellbeing
c. education and lifelong learning
d. active citizenship
e. crime reduction, and anti-social behavior
In terms of physical health, outdoor activities are associated with a range of health
advantages. This includes general health related factors such as increased fitness and
better cardiovascular function, as well as reduced blood pressure, obesity, resting heart
rate, and a positive influence on other health markers. For the healthy aging population,
outdoor activities can help the elderly to maintain their physical performance. Exposure to
sun also helps to maintain the level of vitamin D especially in the elderly.
On the other hand, this kind of activity is also associated with higher risks of
melanoma. This risk is seen as an effect of the practice of using in light clothing and
therefore was associated with a substantially increased risk of sunburn. It has to be noted
that there are certain types of injuries that are more prevalent for specific outdoor and
adventure activities however inactivity is identified as the reason for more premature
deaths and a shorter life-expectancy.

Overall, green and blue environments seem to have especially positive effects that
go beyond the benefits of being physically active in a non-natural environment. Research
have enumerated the following effects to the mental health and well-being:
✓ Greater feelings of revitalization and positive engagement, decreases in
tension, confusion, anger, and depression.
✓ Positive effects of mood
✓ Negative affective states like stress, depression, anxiety, tension, confusion,
anger, rumination, loneliness, and neuroticism could be reduced by
participation in outdoor sports
✓ Pleasure and enjoyment, meditation, independence, basic psychological
needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness, experiences of flow,
comfort and intense emotions, enhanced feeling of body, discovering the

 pleasure of achievement, vital strength and a higher will to live in drug
addicts, and of course an intense nature experience
✓ Feelings of calmness and tranquility may be decreased following outdoor
exercise
✓ increased self-esteem, self-efficacy, social effectiveness, self-confidence, and
a better self-concept
✓ Supports the prevention of mental illnesses
✓ Therapeutic tool for a range of groups with specific needs such as children
with disabilities, persons with disabilities after acute injuries, veterans, ADHD
sufferers, young people at risk and disorderly adolescents, dementia patients,
or drug addicts.
✓ Education and Life-long learning benefits also includes personal
development, interpersonal development, educational motivation and
achievements, cognitive aspects to improve learning and environmental
aspects.
Indeed, the goal of outdoor and adventure activities is to improve the physical and
mental health of a person. It helps in nurturing emotional health and developing self-
sufficiency. When an individual takes part in the above activities, he or she has to work in a
team so it helps in learning to cooperate with others and bond socially. A person learns to
take risk and aim at great achievements by using skills. It develops the tolerance power
and stamina while learning to endure difficulties in life.
Moreover, outdoor activities are also vital part of the economy on both the local
and national level. Enjoying the great outdoors promotes the health and well-being of the
wilderness itself. Proper use of our lands creates concern and awareness for keeping them
protected and free from development.
For more information about the benefits of outdoor and adventure activities, please open
your memory stick and read the article “Benefits of OA”. For online students, your FIT Course
instructor will provide you instructions in your google classroom.

At the moment, everybody really is missing the outdoors! Let us just see it this way.
“The outdoors” are being prepared for all of us. When the right time comes, we will be able
to appreciate it more, take care of it more and explore it better. The outdoor is healing
itself so it can provide us its potential benefits for our personal wellness and our community
wellness as well. At the moment, let us dive in to exploring some of these outdoor activities
which we can participate in in the near future.

 Some Recommended Outdoor and Adventure Activities in the Philippines
1. Orienteering

Orienteering is known for being a competitive sport that involves racing and
the mastery of navigation skills. It is not just an activity which merely requires
physical strength and capabilities. It involves and demands the use of mental
skills. An orienteer must be able to formulate his strategy on how to surpass the
obstacles ahead and win the game.

NOTE: The disadvantages of orienteering are lesser in comparison to the
benefits it has in store for the participants. However, no matter how small in
number these disadvantages are, it is still important to take note about it to
prevent it from occurring as much as possible.

2. Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is a great sport to get outside and explore all the things nature has to
offer. It’s a way to connect with nature and push your body past the normal limits of a
typical human being. Rock climbing is the sport or activity of climbing rock faces,
especially with the aid of ropes and special equipment. The concept is to reach an end
point, or a summit, of a rock face or structure. This can be done with specific equipment,
depending on the difficulty and severity of the climb. With this being said rock climbing
does have positive and negative effects.
