Abstract
In this paper, the advantages of therapeutic recreation for people with physical disabilities are analyzed. The paper discusses how recent legislation forbidding discrimination against those with disabilities has impacted this field. The legislation has stimulated recreational therapists, specialists and educators alike to take on a more active role in providing a wide range of physical and recreational activities for people who have physical disabilities. These activities typically work to help promote the quality of life among people who have disabilities and improve participation, interaction and understanding among their able bodied peers.
Outline:
Causes and Characteristics of Population - Physically Disabled
Importance of Recreation for Population
Role and Place of Recreation in Life
Overview of Legislation Affecting Disabled
Role and Use of Therapeutic Recreation
Specific Recreation Activities to Improve Functioning
Conclusions
From the Paper
"A person who has a physical disability may be defined in multiple ways. Henderson (1999) suggests that a disability can be defined "as a physical or mental impairment that restricts one or more aspects of a person's life" (22). This definition is supported by others who suggest that people who are disabled generally are limited with respect to their ability to participate in certain physical and recreation activities; this suggests a need to explore new ways for identifying how to help people who are disabled experience a full range of activities including physical and therapeutic recreational activities (Henderson, 2002; Austin & Crawford, 1996; Smith, Austin & Kennedy, 1996).

Abstract
This paper explains that, whereas the Japanese have incorporated the importance of recreation and leisure into their national culture and identity, some Americans feel guilty about recreation and leisure activities because of a residual effect of the Puritan work ethic, which equates having fun with laziness. The author points out, by examining research studies, that recreation and leisure are important to every culture because they contribute positively to the individual, the community and the environment. The paper stresses that American society needs to change its definition of recreation and leisure from being activities that are "squeezed in" during moments of free time to being activities that are made a priority because of their numerous benefits.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Research by Iwaski, et. al. demonstrated that male and female managers in stressful positions who choose to make leisure a priority find that it becomes an invaluable coping tool. While there do appear to be gender differences in the types of activities selected, both men and women expressed that their recreation and leisure activities were critical to their physical and professional survival. And, although children have not yet entered the competitive corporate world, a similar study by Caldwell et.al. found that middle school students who regularly participated in positive recreation and leisure activities found that they became more efficient and better focused, more aware of their community, and perhaps less likely to participate in substance use and abuse."

Fund raising - Reflection on Requirements of Fundraising for Participation
Oregon State Park and Recreation Master Plan
From the Paper
"Fundraising has traditionally been a part of children's participation in extracurricular activities such as youth sports. In fact, there has never been a question of whether fundraising would take place or not as it is simply a given or assumed as part of the youth sports participation process. Fundraising may be in the form of selling candy bars, calendars, or raffle tickets. Fundraising may also take the form of bake sales, marathon runs with sponsors and even sponsored bike rides with the sponsor paying the participant per mile that recorded covered on the bicycle during the ride. Fundraising is an inherent part of youth sports and other extracurricular activities and has been for a very long time. Fundraising takes place for reasons that are clearly good reasons. First, participation in extracurricular activities or youth sports requires that each child have a uniform, shoes, safety-gear, and other various items that are required for same and healthy participation in the youth sport or activity. Many children come from families that have several more children who also participate in youth sports or extracurricular activities."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the gradual decline in activity within the college community sets the stage for a lifetime of negative lifestyle factors that contribute to the onset of obesity as well as diseases such as diabetes, myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease. The writer conducts research among students in order to determine if a correlation exists between the following independent variables: motivation factors, nutrition factors, fitness background, lifestyle factors, and student recreation center (SRC) attendance. The writer concludes that in contrast to previous research, the results show that lifestyle factors, namely smoking and hours of sleep per night, are not prominent in relation to how often the students attended the SRC.

From the Paper
"In an effort to eliminate this problem, the Healthy People 2010 initiative includes goals that attempt to eliminate many of the sedentary lifestyle factors that lead to a decreased health status - namely obesity. Unfortunately, these goals completely overlook the college population and are only directed at adults already in the workforce and grade school children; perhaps too young to fully grasp the concept. In another effort to combat lifestyle factors, the Phat Exercise approach, is attempting to implement various methods that will function to boost intrinsic motivation in an effort to increase activity within the college population. The researcher's state four psychological concepts: vision, mastery, flow, and energy, all of which are aimed at helping individuals increase their level of activity enjoyment and thereby increase exercise frequency."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of the legalization of recreational drugs. According to this paper, the use of recreational drugs has become increasingly popular in the United States and there is no compelling reason to believe that this trend will not continue. The paper examines the arguments in favor of recreational drug legalization versus the arguments against the legalization of recreational drug use. Specifically, the paper considers the costs of enforcing tough laws against the legalization of recreational drugs and weigh this cost against the social and fiscal price society pays as a result of individuals engaging in pernicious behavior brought about at least in part by the abuse of recreational drugs.

Abstract
This paper discusses five drugs (alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, morphine and heroin) commonly used for recreation and examines their medical effects. The writer describes each drug, its legal status and illustrates its uses as medical agents. The paper explains that the complex interaction of social acceptance, proven benefits as a medical agent, and potential side effects (including addiction) all played an important role in determining if a specific drug is used as a medical agent in today?s health care system.
From the Paper
"Alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, morphine and heroin have all been used extensively as medical agents. All five drugs have also been used extensively for recreational purposes. As a result of their known adverse effects, marijuana, cocaine, morphine and heroin were all made illegal. However, alcohol remains legal. There is a resurgence of interest in the medical effects of marijuana, cocaine and morphine."

Abstract
This paper explores the revenue streams available to non-profit and for-profit summer camps. The author emphasizes the need to diversify revenue streams as much as possible while simultaneously building professional and personal relationships within the local community. The paper suggests that a close attention to detail can have great rewards down the road.
From the Paper
"Types of funding for non-profit and profit recreational summer camps There are a variety of different funding mechanisms in place for non-profit and profit-based recreational summer camps; it is simply a matter of digging sufficiently to find what revenue streams are most viable for your organization - and what revenue streams are most dependable. This research paper explores several avenues that are available to summer camp directors eager to ensure that the future of his or her camp is not compromised by a lack of finances. As should become apparent, the more revenue streams that a camp is able to tap into, the more likely it is that that camp will be able to survive the inevitable vicissitudes of government and state funding that inevitably arise. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of summer camp funding that this paper now turns."

"RECREATIONAL FOOD SERVICE: LAWS, REGULATION, AND CONTROL
Introduction
This research reviews laws, regulations, and controls applicable to recreational food service operations. With gross sales of $4.9 billion in 1995, the recreational segment of the food service industry held a market share of 1.7 percent of the total food service industry (Bartlett, 1996, p. 48). Segment sales growth in 1995 was 2.5 percent over 1994 levels.
The recreational segment of the food service industry is subject to the same general laws, regulation, and control as applies to all operators in the food service industry (Bartlett, 1996, p. 44). Because recreational food service operations typically are located within other facilities, as opposed to being stand-alone.."
