N2  - This book presents various studies on leisure activities in the outdoors. Indeed, the benefits of being outdoors in a leisure context are widely acknowledged across a range of disciplinary perspectives (including tourism, therapeutic recreation, camps, education, adventure and recreation) (Humberstone et al., 2015). These benefits include the development of health and wellbeing, social/interpersonal skills, leadership and facilitation skills, personal, emotional and reflective abilities, confidence and identity creation, and technical skills
