Research on Optimization Strategies of Youth Outdoor Camp Education from the Perspective of Sports Psychology

Abstract

As an innovative form integrating nature, sports and education, outdoor camp education has significant value for the all-round development of young people. However, adolescents face multiple psychological challenges such as motivation, emotion and social interaction during participation. Based on the theoretical framework of sports psychology, this study systematically analyzes four major common psychological problems of young people in camps—low participation willingness, weak self-regulation, excessive competition and difficult interpersonal adaptation—through on-site investigations and interviews at Fosun Tourism & Culture Mini-Camp. On this basis, the study constructs a four-dimensional optimization strategy system including motivation stimulation, self-regulation improvement, sports spirit shaping and social adaptation promotion, and proposes an integrated implementation model and effect evaluation plan covering the pre-camp, in-camp and post-camp stages. This research aims to promote the in-depth integration of sports psychology and camp education, and provide theoretical reference and practical model for the professional development of the industry.
