Objectives

Research shows that obesity, diabetes, hypertension and coronary heart and vascular diseases, which have almost never been seen in young people in the past, have decreased to 15 years of age and increased rolovans. As a natural result of all these, stress, mood disorders and future anxiety also occur in young people and negatively affect their health and quality of life. Fresh air, plenty of oxygen, healthy eating, and a life free from stress have a magic formula: OUTDOOR SPORTS. Therefore, the objectives of our project are; To create a love of nature in young people, to develop natural and healthy living habits and to increase their interest in nature sports, To develop their awareness of environmental protection and their culture of voluntary participation in the environment and activities, To enable them to share activities such as camping, scouting, climbing, canoeing, trekking with their peers from different cultures, to be able to cope with difficulties in nature, to improve their survival and problem-solving abilities and empathy, to enable them to get rid of cultural prejudices, to increase their socio-cultural participation skills, linguistic and individual competencies. In order to achieve these goals, 8 days of activity, 5 days in nature, was planned and implemented. Participants carried out all activities in nature with the support of our Association, and provincial sports Directorate professionals. For this purpose, 2 professional employees from the Youth Center of the Provincial Directorate of Youth and Sports contributed to our project and supported the participants. At the beginning of every sporting event in nature short theoretical and practical trainings are provided on individual safety measures trainings, rules of each sport and how they are applied. Under the guidance of professionals, practical applications such as camp location selection, setting up camp tents, providing tent security, setting up camp fire, preparing camp dinner were made for the participants separately in groups. As in the case of camping, trekking, climbing, skiing, mountain biking and other sports activities were carried out in accordance with the technical rules and rules of these sports branches.
