Wear Sunscreen
Being naked in the sun feels great, but you need to make sure you don't get burned, especially in areas where you'll have to wear clothes later!

Always remember: Arms, legs, tummy, back and don’t forget your little crack!

Go at Your Own Pace
If you’re not ready to take off your clothes right away, that’s okay. Many places allow you to stay dressed until you feel more comfortable, however, nudity is often required when swimming.

Bring a Towel
You’ll need one! It’s polite (and hygienic) to sit on a towel when you’re sitting anywhere.

Ask Questions
If you’re unsure about what’s expected, what’s okay, or what others are doing—ask a trusted adult. There are no silly questions.

Be Kind to Yourself
Your body is still growing and changing, and that’s normal. Everyone’s is. Don't worry about being perfect. Social nudism can actually help you feel better about your body, because you’ll see how different and normal everyone else is, too.

Don’t Feel Pressured
You get to decide what you’re comfortable with. If you’re not ready to join a group activity, it’s fine to watch first. Being part of the space doesn’t mean doing everything right away.

Respect Others’ Space
Just like in any setting, be kind, respectful, and mindful of people’s boundaries. Ask before hugging someone and don’t stare or point. If you’re not sure, just act the way you would at a normal public place—because nudist spaces are normal to the people there.

It’s Ok to Make Friends Slowly
Believe it or not, nudist kids can be shy too! Just because someone is comfortable being naked does not mean they are comfortable talking to strangers! Just remember to act like you normally would, you can talk about regular stuff like games, pets, or hobbies. Being naked isn’t what friendships are about—it’s just part of the setting.

Have Fun!
Nudist resorts and events often have pools, games, hikes, sports, or crafts. Try something new, explore, and enjoy being outside without worrying about what you’re wearing.
