A '''recreationist''' participates in, or contributes to a reconstruction or re-creation of the [[clothing]], [[music]], skills, activities and lifestyle of a different time period to the current one. This may entail the study of a certain culture or historical period. For example: the [[Middle Ages]] in [[Europe]] or the Gulf War in the [[Middle East]].

For the most part recreationists only cover situations, "as they should have been", without events that aren't much fun, such as the [[Black Death]]. Sometimes this includes a fantastical element, as some include activities or practises that simply did not occur.

Sometimes the term recreationist and [[re-enactor]] are used interchangably. Often, a recreationist refers to one who participates in activities like the [[SCA]] which have more emphasis on the spirit of the times they recreate. A [[re-enactor]] can be considered someone involved in a much more accurate portrayal of the times, and usually has a very specific time and place in history.

Recreationists differ from professionals in that recreationists do it for fun, while professionals get paid for their work.
