I'd have to say I've been a 'closet' naturist for years but it is only in the past year or two that I've actively sought out other naturists and participated in nude, social activities. I love it!

 

The first time I went to a naturist resort, Glen Echo, I was a bit nervous but only because it was a new situation, not because I was uncomfortable. In fact, I was a bit surprised at how at ease I felt. After that one visit there was no turning back, unfortunately, there aren't any clubs in my area so I have to travel to participate in activities.

I am a member of the Federation of Canadian Naturists and their web site is a great resource for information on the Canadian naturist scene. Joining is an excellent way to show your support for the naturist lifestyle and maybe even connect with others who share your interests. As a member you will receive their quarterly publication that contains some informative articles on naturism here and abroad.

 

Canadian clubs that I have personal experience with:

• The Federation of Canadian Naturists
• Glen Echo Park
• Ontario Roaming Bares
• Hanlan's Beach Naturists
• Musqua Meadows (Manitoba)

American national organizations:

• The American Association for Nude Recreation
• The Naturist Society

These are a couple of sites that have collected information about Naturism in North America and both have web based chat rooms where you can talk to other naturists. NetNude has a great system of message boards, as well.
