The camp culminates in a spaghetti dinner and a "Sunny and Bare" talent show for parents.
For children raised in nudist families, the camps provide an opportunity to meet people their own age of similar backgrounds and interests.
"The kids love it. They come back year after year," said Bob Roche, manager and president of White Tail Park in Virginia and president of AANR-Eastern Region. "It gives them a great place to enjoy themselves and meet new friends."
The camps take careful measures to prevent misconduct, and according to Roche, they haven't had any problems. The park is secure, he said, and campers are supervised by both a male and female counselor at all times. All counselors have been recommended by a local nudist club, plus an elected official of the AANR. Many are graduates of Nude University, a camp and counselor certification program for 18- to 25-year-olds. After interviews, applicants are subject to police background checks.
