Welcome! I can feel the conflict going on inside you...I can certainly understand why you would feel neglected now that your boyfriend is spending time away. Now that you hopefully released some of the turmoil by posting, do you think you could approach him to share with him how the changes affect you? Do you think you could be a part of the activities? Not sure if you are a camper, but that would be a nice little adventure? Has he asked if you want to go to any of the activities? Yes, in a relationship we should have an outlet that is separate from our boy/girlfriend, some time for ourselfs, and time for the relationship. When one person doesn't see this as balanced (and that is different for anyone) you'll definately want to communicate that you feel that way...otherwise it will really strain the relationship.
