nude youth camps

[NakedSteve]

does anyone go to these nude youth camps? and if so what are their thoughts on them?

[fanrlawyer]

I have been to several as a volunteer staff member. The youth enjoy positive reinforcement from peers and have fun together.

I went to one this summer in virginia with a bunch of friends. We had a lot of fun doing all the activities and hanging out with the younger kids. I'm sixteen and my friends are in the same age group. I was amazed and pleased at how many yound naturists are out there and how mature they are about everything. I mean a lot of them are just hitting peuberty and that can be tough and embarrasing, but I'm glad they were willing to talk about it with us and see us as older role models, it really makes you feel good.

virginia...so you had the joy of little wesley...i'm so sorry

nudecase - i am sure you and your friends were good role models for the younger ones. maybe you should consider being a counselor later. just be careful about showing them how to kill, pluck, and eat a chicken - you know how sqweemish us city folks can be!!!

but seriously, what kinds of activities did they have, and did any feel wierder to do naked over clothed? my wife and i went with the kids to the sunsport midwinter festival and my wife took nude yoga, which she loved and wants to start a class at home. there was only one wierd moment- she happened to look up towrds the instructor right when the guy in front of her was bending over with a stretching pose and she got an eyeful of the inside of his tushy, but she got over it quickly and enjoyed the rest of the day!!!

I was going to go to one actually when all the stuff was raised in June about them from that idiot who said kids should never be nude in front of each other because we would have sex etc. etc. It got out of hand and made the national news even. My rents are members of TNS but the Nude U program was something I thought might be cool for a change from surf camps that I usually go to. Anyway, I went to Cali and the surf camp because it just wasnt worth it to hear all that stuff from such lame people about something that is the coolest of cool. It died down and he ate his words but you know what I mean. Its the best from what I hear.

Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! *Tenchi starts pounding his fists against the ground in frustration*

Why? Why couldn't I have been raised a nudist in the first place? Why couldn't I have been able to attend nude youth camps in my early adolscent and teenage years?

I can just imagine the fond memories that I could have developed and the great friendships I could have made. But it wasn't to be with me. I am sorry to rant like this. I just had to get it out of my system.

[NakedSteve]

hey... nude youth camps rock. Just thought i would let everyone know.

[florida-david]

hello Christofferkane, as you can see, all us older folks are jealous that you have the type of up-bringing that we wish we had. maybe you can beat up stu as to how you have not become a sexual predator due to the fact that you were raised in a nudist household. i hope my kids are as out-going about their nudism as you appear to be.

keep posting here and WELCOME!!!

I think these nude youth camps are a great thing for children and people like that Foley guy should stop protesting about things they know almost nothing about, as long as it can be proven that they are safe and that they cause no lasting damage to children then its none of his damn business if children go there or not. Im sure these camps have strict rules and cover their butts legal wise with paperwork and consent from parents and it seems like they cover all the bases and there shouldnt be any worries about sexual predators because im sure like a nudist resort if these people are caught on their property they are either kicked out or handed over to the police.

[Artie]

I think these camps are a great idea. I wish I was raised in a nudist family. I wish I had access to the nudist info I have found on the net the past few years when I was a kid. I grew up close to a nudist resort in Northern Indiana. I never got the chance to go but I have always wanted the chance to go there some day.

I have never heard a single bad things about these camps yet.

A belated welcome to the INA Forum to Chris and Artie and all those who have joined recently.
It's good to have you here. We like having younger naturists expressing their opinions about the lifestyle. It's what INA and Clothesfree.com is all about!!

[Artie]

Thanks Bart,
I am kinda new to this forum but have been coming to this website for about a year or two now. I have only recently been re-introduced to the nudism lifestyle and philosophy. I am planing to become a menber sometime soon.

Take care and Merry Christmas
Artie
