Teen Nudism FAQs
Q: Why does anyone do this?
A: Every family has different reasons—some want to feel more connected to nature, others value body acceptance, and some just enjoy the freedom of it. Your parents probably want to try it as a way to relax and be part of a respectful, open-minded community. But it’s totally normal to have questions or mixed feelings about it.
Q: Do I have to be naked?
A: No one should force you. Most nudist spaces, especially family-friendly ones, allow people to ease into it at their own pace. You can start by staying clothed, using a towel, or wearing something light until you feel more comfortable.
Q: What if I feel embarrassed or self-conscious?
A: That’s totally normal, especially at first. But most nudists quickly realize that people come in all shapes and sizes and that no one is judging. The more you’re around it, the less awkward it feels. No one’s there to criticize how you look.
Q: What happens if I get an erection?
A: It’s rare, but if it does happen, it’s not the end of the world. Just cover up with a towel, turn over, or excuse yourself—people understand it’s part of being human. In naturist spaces, respect is a big deal, and people are surprisingly mature about these things.
Q: Are there going to be other teens there?
A: Some places do have teens and younger people, especially family-oriented resorts or groups. It depends on where you’re going. Ask your parents if they can find events or clubs with kids your age—that can make things feel more normal and fun.
Q: What if my friends find out?
A: That’s up to you. You don’t have to tell anyone unless you want to. Nudism is just one part of your family life—it doesn’t define you. If you do share it, it helps to be confident and clear about what it is (body positivity, not something weird).
Q: What do we do—just sit around naked?
A: Nope! Families play sports, swim, hike, eat meals, talk, play games—just like anywhere else. The only difference is that people aren’t wearing clothes. It’s about living life normally, just more naturally.
Q: Isn’t it unhygienic to sit naked?
A: That’s why everyone carries a towel! In any nudist setting, it’s the norm to sit on a towel for hygiene. It’s one of the few “rules” and helps everyone feel more comfortable.
Q: What if I don’t like it?
A: That’s okay! Not everyone takes to nudism right away—or at all. You’re allowed to have your own feelings and opinions. Talk to your family honestly. Just trying it doesn’t mean you’re signing up for life.
Mission Statement: To provide fun and fellowship to nudist families.
Tips for Teens
Don’t pressure yourself to feel comfortable right away. Being naked in front of other people isn’t something most of us grow up doing, so feeling a little shy is totally normal. Give yourself time to get used to it.
Bring a towel (you’ll use it more than you think). In naturist places, it’s standard to sit on a towel—out of respect and for hygiene. Also, having it around gives you something to wrap up in if you ever feel like you need a quick break.
You’re going to notice things—then you won’t. At first, you’ll probably notice a lot of bodies (and yeah, all the parts). But after a while, you really do stop paying attention. People are just… people. You get used to it faster than you think.
You don’t have to be nude the second you walk in. Seriously, most places are cool with you easing into nudism. Start with a cover-up or towel, and go at your own pace. Nobody’s going to force you or rush you. Just know if you are going to be entering water (pool, lake, shower, hot tub, etc.) nudity will most likely be required.
Look people in the eye. This sounds simple, but it helps a lot. It shows respect and helps you remember you’re talking to a person, not a body.
Don’t expect a crowd of teens—but don’t be afraid to connect. There might not be a ton of kids your age, but if you do see someone around your age, don’t be afraid to say hi. Even one connection can make your experience better.
Respect others, and expect the same. No staring, no rude jokes, no photos (that’s usually against the rules anyway). Naturism works because everyone agrees to make it safe and respectful.
You’ll probably feel more free than you expect. Once the nerves fade, it’s honestly one of the most chill, freeing feelings ever. Swimming without a swimsuit? 10/10 recommend.
It is ok to keep it to yourself—unless you’re with someone you trust. Not everyone gets naturism, and that’s okay. You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. Just share it with people you know will be respectful and understanding.
You’re not weird. You’re not alone. Lots of teens feel unsure about naturism, but if it turns out to be something you enjoy, that’s awesome. And if it’s not for you, that’s fine too. Either way, you’re not weird for trying it.

No Press Coverage Policy
Our primary mission is to provide a safe and private environment for families to embrace the nudist lifestyle. To uphold this mission and protect the integrity of our community, we do not permit press coverage or media inquiries at our events.
This policy exists for the following reasons:
Member Privacy and Comfort
All of our members are families with children who value the privacy and discretion offered by our group. Media exposure may inadvertently reveal personal details or identities, compromising this trust and subjecting our members to unwarranted judgement or intimidation.
Misrepresentation Concerns
Nudism is often misunderstood, and public narratives can oftentimes mischaracterize our values and activities. By avoiding media attention, we reduce the risk of misrepresentation or sensationalism that could harm our community or its members. If you’d like to learn about our values we suggested you learn more here.
Focus on Safety
Contrary to popular misconceptions, nudist go to great lengths to protect our families and our children. By not sharing any information about our events we protect ourselves from harrassment or worse. We thoroughly vet who becomes a member of our group and the venues we use to host our events.
While we do not invite press coverage, we are happy to provide general information about our group and the nudist lifestyle through controlled channels such as our website, blog posts, or outreach efforts. We also have some families who are willing to talk to the press and we would gladly put you in touch with them. If you have questions or are curious about our mission, please contact us directly.
Thank you for respecting our commitment to maintaining a safe and comfortable space for all members.
