Isn’t “Camping” about setting up the tent and cooking outdoor after some group games? What a camping meeting can offer? Considering the topics in the recent international camping conferences and the trends in Taiwan and neighboring countries, we have come up the following five themes for AOCC2009. We hope that camp practitioners, educators, and academics can get together to share and learn the updated skills and research results that participants can take home and apply in their camps.
• Leisure Camping in the Forest
• Trends and Issues at Camps
• Experiential Program Design
• Mutuality of Interests – Nature Conservancy
• Handicraft at Campground
