"...the aim of leisure education is to enable people to reach a relatively high plateau, to have leisure experiences that fall in the upper level of the satisfying, enriching, enhancing end of the life continuum and to be able to attain this level of satisfaction through one's efficacy." - from Leisure Education

Leisure Education presents a thought-provoking overview of leisure education-from philosophical considerations in leisure education theory to models and units that can be implemented in leisure education classes. The book provides practical information for individuals working with recreation and park agencies, therapeutic recreation facilities, correctional facilities, and aging individuals.
