“…Particular leisure activities, like pleasure reading (Zhang, 2019) or vacation travel (Liu & Li, 2020), can become a behavioral domain in which class status is exercised. Leisure time and recreational activities are ways in which people signal to both themselves and to others their supposed membership in a social class, and many outdoor recreation programs are viewed as upper-class spaces (Roberts et al, 2020). For example, a two-week backpacking trip for teenagers with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) can cost more than $4,000 (in 2022), and many prototypical outdoor recreation activities require expensive gear (e.g., mountain biking) or expensive tickets (e.g., skiing) for even basic participation.…”

The outdoor recreation industry faces the challenge of recruiting the next generation of professionals. This study examined factors that may influence young adults’ interest in outdoor recreation careers, including participation in organized and unorganized outdoor recreation as a youth, connection to nature (CTN), racial identity, and socioeconomic status (SES). An online questionnaire was distributed using a Qualtrics panel, and criterion sampling was used to ensure the sample included participants with approximately equal representation across racial identity and SES categories. Participation in unorganized recreation, CTN, and SES were found to be significant predictors of interest in outdoor recreation careers. Additionally, participation in organized recreation was found to be a significant negative predictor of CTN, while participation in unorganized recreation and racial identity were significant positive predictors of CTN, and CTN had a small mediating effect on the relationship between unorganized recreation participation and interest in outdoor recreation careers.
