Semester 4 | 42 hours (1.5 hours lecture/1.5 hours lab)

In this course, students will focus on the mental and physical health benefits of outdoor recreation.  Students will be introduced to a variety of outdoor recreational activities such as skiing, trail running, snowshoeing, cycling, canoeing, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, and orienteering.  Identifying local, provincial, and national recreational organizations for many of the outdoor recreational activities will increase knowledge of general fitness and health promotion opportunities within their community and beyond.  Safety and adhering to risk management will be applied to all outdoor recreational activities.
