Camping as a category refers to an outdoor recreational activity. The participants (known as campers) leave urban areas, their home region, or civilization and enjoy nature while spending one or several nights outdoors, usually at a campsite. Camping may involve the use of a tent, caravan, motorhome, cabin, a primitive structure, or no shelter at all. Camping is a key part of many youth organizations around the world, such as scouting in order to teach self-reliance and teamwork.
