4 introduction Camping is one of America s favorite outdoor activities, attracting 40.5 million participants in Americans participated in the activity in various ways, camping in a conventional tent, enjoying the comforts of an RV, relaxing in a cabin or roughing it in a bivy. The 2017 American Camper Report profiles the more than 40 million people who used camping to connect to the natural world in their own unique ways. A Look Back at 2016: Overall Trends 40.5 million Americans, or 13.7% of the population over age 6, camped at least once in The participation rate was up slightly from 13.6% in 2015 due to an addition of 500,000 new or returning camping participants. Campers logged a collective million camping days, or an average of 14.5 days per person. While the number of total days camped remained steady, the an average days dropped marginally from 14.7 in Consistent with past reports, the majority of camping participants were Caucasian, and they skewed slightly male. Since camping is easily accessible throughout the United States, participation was spread fairly evenly across the nation. The Mountain Region, which stretches from Montana down to Arizona and New Mexico, had a somewhat higher participation rate than the other regions. The Year Ahead: Future Opportunities Research in The American Camper Report continued to highlight the importance of introducing Americans to the outdoors at an early age to inspire lifelong camping participation and encourage interest in the outdoors. In fact, the average age for a camper s 1st camping trip was age 10. And, after age 15, the likelihood of being exposed to camping dramatically dropped. Similarly, half of current adult campers participated in outdoor activities as adolescents, compared to just 38% of non-campers. The gap among campers who participated during childhood was almost as dramatic. To help stakeholders reach campers and non-campers alike, the 2017 American Camper Report details camping participation and provides data and analysis on camping trends throughout the United States. The research in this report will help the camping industry and the entire outdoor industry be better equipped to engage potential campers and initiate an increase in camping participation American Camper Report

57 Method During the 2016 calendar year, a total of 24,134 online interviews were carried out with a nationwide sample of individuals and households from the US Online Panel of over one million people operated by Synovate/ IPSOS. A total of 11,453 individual and 12,681 household surveys were completed. The total panel is maintained to be representative of the US population for people ages six and older. Over sampling of ethnic groups took place to boost response from typically under responding groups. Data is based on Nielsen s measure of the Hispanic population in the United States, ages 6 and up, which is 35,550,161 individuals. The 2017 participation survey sample size of 24,134 completed interviews provides a high degree of statistical accuracy. All surveys are subject to some level of standard error that is, the degree to which the results might differ from those obtained by a complete census of every person in the US. A sport with a participation rate of five percent has a confidence interval of plus or minus 0.31 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. A weighting technique was used to balance the data to reflect the total US population ages six and above. The following variables were used: gender, age, income, household size, region, population density and panel join date. The total population figure used was 296,251,344 people ages six and older. Youth Interviews All interviews of children under 13 were carried out following the guidelines set out in the Children s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). No children were contacted directly. The panel is a balanced sample of households with children in each age group, but contact is always made through designated adult panelists. The adult panelist receives the survey invitation on behalf of a specified child, age six to 12, and they are asked to complete the survey together. Respondents ages 13 to 17 are contacted in a manner similar to respondents age six to 12, but they are asked to complete the survey themselves. About the Physical Activity Council (PAC) The survey that forms the basis of the 2016 Special Report on Fishing is produced by the Physical Activity Council (PAC), which is a partnership of leading organizations in the US sports, fitness and leisure industries. While the overall aim of the survey is to establish levels of activity and identify key trends in sports, fitness and recreation participation, each partner produces detailed reports on specific areas of interest. Partners include: the Outdoor Foundation (OF); National Golf Foundation (NGF); Snowsports Industries America (SIA); Tennis Industry Association (TIA); USA Football; United States Tennis Association (USTA), International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA); and Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA). Notes Unless otherwise noted, the data in this report was collected during the latest 2017 participation survey, which focused on American participation in the 2016 calendar year.
