The Naturist SocietyThe Naturist Society Mission Statement:
The mission of The Naturist Society is to promote a culture of body acceptance through clothing-optional recreation, using the tools of education and community outreach.
The Naturist Society celebrates the nude human form as inherently wholesome and natural. TNS promotes attitudes of tolerance and respect toward the body, and rejects the exploitation of the body for commercial or sexual purposes.
The Naturist Society views clothing-optional recreation as essential to body acceptance. Through clothing-optional recreation participants, be they individuals, couples or families, learn to appreciate the diversity of body types, gain a better understanding and acceptance of their own bodies, and reap the social, psychological, and physical benefits of a healthy and natural way of life.
The Naturist Society believes the interests of naturists are advanced through education and community outreach. TNS recognizes it is part of a larger community and welcomes the challenge of spreading the naturist message.
SCNA
Southern California
Naturist Association
SCNA is a “travel club,” which means it has no defined park or resort “place” to call home. We meet in the backyards of members with swimming pools or Jacuzzis, or we go sailing off the coast, or we hike on secluded mountain trails, or visit local beaches where we can enjoy the surf and sand as nature intended.
The Olympian ClubThe Olympian Club is associated with the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR), the American Association for Nude Recreation, Western Region (AANR West), and The Naturist Socty (TNS). AANR membership is required, TNS Membership is optional but highly recommended.
The Club is a non-landed travel club and and does not have facilities of their own. Throughout the year an extensive number of get-togethers are scheduled involving parties, potlucks, special interest group meetings and other nudist-related activities. These are held at members homes, nudist resorts, nude beaches, and various out-of-the-way places. During the summer season the club tries to do a lot of outdoor activities in order to enjoy the excellent weather in Southern California. Special trips, such as house boating, hot springs hopping, and overseas travel, are scheduled occasionally.
Olive Dell Ranch is Southern California's favorite nudist resort for family and couples.
Located in Colton, California, just a few miles from San Bernardino and Riverside, Olive Dell's central location and proximity to many of Southern California's main tourist attractions make it the ideal spot to enjoy the nudist/naturist lifestyle whether visiting for the day or an overnight stay.
Our nudist club offers accommodations and camp sites for extended stays and numerous amenities such as swimming pool and jacuzzi, as well as a sauna and Olive Dell's Cafe Delicious, run by the Olive Dell family and renowned for it's outstanding home cooking.
NudistParksUSA.NET hopes to offer a friendly and useful site to gather information on organized social nudism in the United States by providing a simple to search database of nudist parks, resorts, clubs and Inns. Search by zip code or explore our state by state web pages of nudist parks and naturist clubs.
Deep Creek Volunteers is a volunteer organization that exists to preserve and protect Deep Creek Hot Springs, as they exist today, for our children and grandchildren. We believe these hot springs should be open and available to all, clean, healthy, clothing optional, family oriented, with the intention of bringing people together in a sense of community and in harmony with the natural environment. We hope to achieve this through the volunteer work of our members, the education of its users, and by coordinating and cooperating with our local private and public entities.
Our informal meetings are held the last Saturday of every month at 1:00 p.m. at the grassy area above the Anniversary pool, and are open to public observation and comment. Please accept this invitation to come and join us. We operate on a consensus-seeking, decision making process.
We generally go camping or on day hikes one weekend a month. Some events are backpack trips which may be several days in length, and some are car camping. Some campers use tents; the rest have RV's, vans, pickup campers or sleep in the open air. We charge nothing for our camping trips except for the occasional outside charge for the facilities we use. Although we occasionally visit nudist parks and Black's Beach, we mainly camp in National Forest or BLM land areas. Many of our trips are to natural hot springs where we hike in and enjoy primitive hot tubs or simple hot pools.
What do we do?
We publish a newsletter ten times a year. We maintain a family friendly presence at Black's Beach. We maintain a bulletin board at Black's Beach. We post our newsletter there and leave space for others to post Naturist related events. We organize trash pickups at Black's Beach, sometimes with park rangers. We donate materials and service to Black's Beach Diggers. We facilitate the use of Black's Beach for other Naturist groups by providing a hot grill, extra umbrellas, and beach toys like Frisbees, body boards and sand castle molds. We organize a few events, but mostly leave it up to people to decide how to have fun at the beach.
Why do we do it?
Clothing optional recreation requires constant defense, because people often misunderstand and try to outlaw it. Black's is not a perfect beach, but we try to make it better. We like our beach to be litter free. We like to be able to reach a clothing optional environment without excessive risk to our lives.
Western Association
For Naturist Recreation
The WANR was organized in 1992 so that those interested in outdoor nude recreation could expand their knowledge and enjoyment of naturist activities.
Through networking, members of the association share naturist news information about nude beaches, mountain hiking, 'canuding', visits to hot springs, social gatherings, and many other nude activities.
