Family Nudist Camps

Cautions and Criticisms

Family Nudist Camps are reportedly against exploitation and pornography of any kind. Naturists are encouraged to celebrate the human form along with its flaws and teach their children to feel comfortable with their bodies. Nudism is often described as a state
 of higher understanding, acceptance au natural, and an enlightened fragment of society bent on individual beauty in the Shangri-La of artistic nude appreciation. But family nudist camps have become home to a shocking trend for which many who seek the simplicity of a family nudist camp are unaware. Not everyone is there to promote naturism.

A justice department inquiry recently studied Family Nudism, and they discovered that among the regulars in family nudist camps were often (not rarely) child pornographers and pedophiles. Why? Family Nudist Camps are advocates of desensitizing children to nudity, and in addition photography of nude children is commonplace in many resorts and gatherings. Because naturism is toted as being advocacy for body acceptance, families are often unaware that the pictures made of their children and the activities their children are being involved in at the Family Nudist Camp might be part of an elaborate child seduction plot or perhaps as simple trading fodder for a child pornographer.

Advertisements for family nudist camps are often alarming if you look past the beauty of an accepting society. For some reason, due to the “artistic nature” claims, national governments are slow to act on the bold usage of images portraying nude children, even when these images of children are the most prominently-displayed advertising medium for family nudist camps. Often, it appears that the promotional materials and family nudist advocacy magazines are well aware that their customers are occasionally pedophiles; often the pictures seem somewhat suggestive, especially when those of single children alarmingly outnumber photographs with parents included.

I am a 60 year old male nudist. Visited many camps. Never have seen any children photographed for lewd poses or sexual images. You have sick male and females that will go to any extent to exploit nude children but we do not live in a perfect world. Children playing nude are like cherubs as innocent as can be. We just need to do more background research and treat each child as if it is your own.I would not want to be a part of any club that banned single people male or female. Sometimes it is impossible to get a partner. I think if the clubs set down good guide lines and strictly adhere to them nudist parks will always be a joyful place for all ages to enjoy.

To date, my nudist activity has only been an "at home" nudist, but I do want to expand this freedom one day. And I hope that this option is still available to all of us in the future and not taken away from us because of a few wierdos. There are simple ways to screen out the perverts and most of the good places do. Look for campgrounds and resorts that specialize in an area. Single clubs are where you expect to find single people. A 40 year old with camera doesn't normally go looking for 19 year olds (or younger). I emphasize the word "normal". Family places should be that: At a minimum, a couple. If you allow singles in your family place, make sure they act appropriately and follow some suggestions below. Membership at least at the national level should be a minimum requirement for family places. In addition, many of these organizations have rules: no cameras, camera phones, or other video devices. Anyone caught with any video device without permission and signed releases

I am an inveterate nudist, having been into the lifestyle for the last 17 years. Most nudist camps and clubs are now becoming more open and tolerant of single men, even in places that allow families. It is a sad but true fact that the few guys who often get sprung behaving inappropriately at nudist camps tend to be married with children of their own. I do believe that naturism and nudism shoud be promoted to people of all ages, but I am also very concerned about certain photographers who try to make out that nudism is for children only by leaving their parents out of the photos. To me, that's just wrong. Go to Yahoo! or Google images and type in family naturism, and you'll find that many of the images in there aren't of families at all but of pre-pubescent children and u-16 teens in sexually provocative poses. It makes me wonder how some nudist parents allow their children to be exploited in this way and more importantly why they allow such photographers near them in the first pl

I am also interested in nudist activity, but have been afraid because of the "unknown"...and it doesn't help that the organizations that support it are so expensive. At one time, a membership to the American Rifle Association was only $15-25 a year. Last I checked AANR wanted HUNDREDS of dollars for one year. I am also single, but in my mid 40s....guess what people...you don't find many "single" w/o kids women in their 40s at singles only places, but the "family" places shun single guys away. I can't win for losing. I think the entire industry needs to re-think how they can mix older males with "ready-made" families and still protect the babies from harm.

I have no doubt that this happens but the facilities where I have been Photography is forbidden. I am sure someone could secretely get a picture or two if they wanted. Family facilities DO NOT allow unescorted males on the property. One Male and one Female is a couple, children are welcome with a proper adult. Background checks are randomly done for non regular visitors. Full background checks are done on all full time members. At least that is the way it is done around here. At an open beach I am sure anything goes.

I do not have any children of my own but i do have nephews. It is sad when Men and Women take fromour children the little time before the real world caughts up to them. These people should be made public. If they did it once and got away they will strike agian and again. We have to proctect our children we are all they have that seperates them from the evil sick cowards that prey on them. Thanks for the info
