Abstract
Creativity is a useful skill in the recreation profession, yet it is rarely treated as a fundamental skill in the preparation of undergraduate recreation majors. The purpose of this overview is to illustrate the need for creativity in the workforce and how best to nourish student creativity through undergraduate teaching. We review interdisciplinary perspectives on the creative process and how to support the development of creativity in undergraduate students. We then discuss barriers that inhibit the creative process and how to overcome them. Finally, we conclude by examining and reacting to critiques of creativity in the interest of facilitating the cultivation of this skill in the next generation of recreation professionals.
