A temporary outdoor lifestyle using tents, simple huts, or natural features such as the shade of rocks. Also called camping. Generally, it refers to outdoor recreational living that began in the late 19th century, and does not include the everyday camping for nomadic or hunting activities practiced in parts of Mongolia, Central Asia, and the United States. It is usually done in the summer on plateaus, lakes, or beaches. It is said that camping was first practiced in the United States by FW Gunn, principal of the Washington Galena School, who recognized the educational value of camping and held it in Connecticut (1861). It became widespread in 1907 when Baden-Powell of England adopted it for the Boy Scout movement, and since then camping has spread all over the world with the development of the Boy Scout movement. Today, it is widely practiced as a general leisure activity, and dedicated vehicles (camper vans) are also in widespread use.

テント,簡単な小屋掛け,あるいは岩陰など自然の地形を利用して一時的な野外生活をおくること。キャンプともいう。一般には 19世紀後半に始ったレクリエーションのための野外生活をいい,モンゴル,中央アジア,アメリカなどの一部で行われている遊牧や狩猟のための日常的なキャンピングは含めない。通常,夏季に高原や湖畔,海浜などで行う。アメリカでワシントン・ガレネー校の校長 F. W.ガンがキャンピングに教育的意義を認め,コネティカット州で行なった (1861) のが最初であると伝えられる。広く行われるようになったのは 1907年,イギリスのベーデン=パウエルがボーイスカウト運動に採用してからで,以後キャンピングはボーイスカウト運動の発展とともに世界各地に普及した。今日では一般のレジャーとして盛んに行われるようになり,専用自動車 (キャンピング・カー ) も普及している。
