camping therapy

Camping therapy involves engaging with natural outdoor environments as a means to improve mental and emotional well-being. It combines the restorative effects of nature—such as reduced stress, increased relaxation, and enhanced mood—with therapeutic activities like guided reflection, mindfulness, and social interaction. By immersing individuals in nature, camping therapy helps reduce anxiety, improve focus, and foster resilience, making it a beneficial complement to traditional mental health treatments. It’s often used in programs for stress reduction, trauma recovery, and building coping skills, emphasizing the healing power of connecting with the outdoors.
