This study examined the effects of nature experience activities in a forest environment from the perspective of effects on Feelings toward Nature, Resilience and Restorative Effect. As a method of analyzing the effects, we used the group comparison design to examine the effects of the program on all participants, and a single-case research design to examine the effects of the program on individual. The participants of the study were 26 university students who participated in a 5-day Nature Experience Activity, which included Forest Environment Education Activities and Stream Climbing Activities. As a result of the study, the group comparison design showed that the program experience improved Feelings toward Nature and Resilience. SCD showed the transformation of Restorative Effect of the program experience for each participant, and there are differences in the effects of each participant's experience in the forest environment. The results of Restorative Effect from the analysis of SCD suggested a link between the effect of improving Feelings toward Nature and Resilience. This study was able to show new findings into the effects and analysis methods of Nature Experience Activities.
