Concept of Recreation

Anything you do because you enjoy it — rather than because you are obligated to do it — is recreational. Hiking,
reading, and visiting museums can all be described this way. Recreational means "something done for recreation," and
recreation, which was originally "the curing of a sick person," combines the Latin re, "again" and creare, "to create." Today
we think of recreational activities as curing our boredom.

Recreational activity means any outdoor activity under- taken for the purpose of exercise, relaxation or
pleasure, including practice or instruction in any such activity. “Recreational activity” includes hunting, fishing,
trapping, camping, picnicking, exploring caves, nature study, bicycling, horseback riding, bird− watching,
motorcycling, operating an all−terrain vehicle, ballooning, hang gliding, hiking, tobogganing, sledding, sleigh riding,
snowmobiling, skiing, skating, water sports, sight−seeing, rock− climbing, cutting or removing wood, climbing
observation towers, animal training, harvesting the products of nature, sport shooting and any other outdoor sport,
game or educational activity. “Recreational activity” does not include any organized team.
