The study aims to elucidate the lasting impacts of organized camp on participants as they reached their adulthood through the viewpoint of autobiographical memory and autobiographical reasoning. Qualitative data were collected by semi-structured interviews with three male and four female research subjects (20 to 40-years age) who had participated in an organized camp during their childhood. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyze these seven case studies of organized camp experience. Through the IPA, 14 themes emerged which were categorized into two major domains. Domain of “impact on oneself” including seven themes ; “core of self,” “conception of nature,” “relationship to others,” “acquisition of sociability,” “improving confidence,” “interest and skill about outdoor education or outdoor activity,” “vitality,” and domain of “factor of impact on oneself” including seven themes ; “camper and adult staff,” “enjoyment,” “unusual situation,” “experience of severe situations,” “continuous participations,” “successful experience,” and “motivation for camp”. Results revealed that the duration of evaluation by participants about camp's significance is not confined within the immediate time frame of the occurrence. The camp's significance is reevaluated at different stages of one's life. This could be during the time when one goes to camp again, or when one is trying to figure out one's occupation, or even when one is facing an obstacle. Further, our analysis suggests that at each stage, the camp's experience is reassessed by the individuals and held a new meaning to them. This study confirms that the meaning-making process and lifelong benefits of camp experience during childhood to adulthood.

The memories recollected from an individual's life are referred to as autobiographical memory. When people recollect one’s past, we undergo the process of autobiographical reasoning as well as recalling merely. That is the activity of creating relations between different parts of one's past, present, and future life and personality and development. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the lasting impacts of organized camps on participants as they reached their adulthood through the viewpoint of autobiographical memory and autobiographical reasoning. The data were collected using a “Camp Memory Characteristics Questionnaire,” which was completed by 191 participants and analyzed using statistics. It was shown that memories of outdoor activities, such as “campfire,” “hiking or Solo,” “involvement with the camper,” “involvement with the camp counselor,” and “meaningful nature experience” were the most memorable events of camp in most of the respondents. Especially, the memories of “accomplishment,” such as “hiking or Solo” were recalled more frequently as well as more clearly, and they are valued as more important than the memories of other activities. In addition, the memories of camp remained in participants’ minds regardless of how much time has passed. By comparing and analyzing respondents' ages, these memories appear to have become more important as participants grew older. Furthermore, around 80% of respondents recognized the impacts of organized camp experiences. Participants also have attributed a variety of meaning to their camp experiences, and it was classified into 6 groups: “self,” “others,” “nature environment,” “outdoor activity,” “occupational choice,” and the other.

The purpose of this study was to examine the origin of outdoor education in Japan.Generally speaking, what we think of as organized camping first took shape and was implemented in the 1920's. However, outdoor education in Japan had its roots in back to Shugendo dur ng the Heian era. The following conclusions were obtained.1. Mountaineering was a main activity of Japanese outdoor education in the early days.2. Shugendo was not only the origin of mountaineering in Japan but also part of the basic culture of our country.3. The custom of Seijin Tozan (“initiation into adulthood”) directly influenced the origin of Gakkou Tozan (“school mountaineering”) in the early years of the Meiji era.4. The purposes of Gakkou Tozan (“school mountaineering”) in those days were to strengthen the mind and body of students, and help them learn about natural history.5. The concepts and practice of Shugendo were similar to those of adventure education and environmental education that researchers today consider elements of outdoor education.
