I don't think teen nudist camps should be available, unless they're 18....Why? It's just weird...You wouldn't know if people were there because they respect and follow the nudist tradition or they just want to look at the other people...lol...But I don't know, maybe if they were nudists since they were born, like if their families were nudists, I don't think it would be such a big deal. Hmm, I guess it depends on the person.  |

while I'm all for peoples rights which includes the right to wear clothes in camps or go naked in nudists camps, I have mixed feelings about younguns going nude...if children have been raised in this type of situation then it would be normal for them now wouldn't it....but I have reservations about some of them entering into a nudist camp purely out of curiosity, which I might add, with hormones kicking in!!! makes the mind boggle...but nothing shocks me anymore and if their parents are okay with this then who am I to judge...just my opinion though...cheers  |

Are the kids asking for it? Or is it an "adult, concerned about human rights". Give me a break, kids will rarely get naked in groups or camps. Sounds like some sleazeball looking for way to make being a pedofile legal. AND are adults included? Is this JUST a teen camp? People can get nekked when they want, but people who obsess over others worry me more than any "rights" issue.  |

Parents that have children who would subject their children to their lifestyle fall into the same cracks as parents who smoke, whether it be dope or tobacco, and make "other lifestyle" choices. They have no more right to assume their children are safe being unclothed in the presence of ADULTS than they have by offering illegal substances. It would be child abuse in my opinion. If you like being naked, and don't mind looking at others AND you are an adult, so be it. But don't assume a child will be comfortable in the same situation or that EVERY adult is innocent and unassuming. I don't buy it. And anyone who compromises a child like this is disgusting and beyond normal human understanding. But hey, that's me own personal opinion. |

Nudity still brings about lust. Lust still brings about sex. Sex still brings about unwanted children, especially among the teens. It also brings about STD. People are losing all common sense and are going to such extremes in the name of human rights.  |

Most of the kids who would go live in nudist colonies so to them it's not the same, and if they wanted to go and that's the lifestyle the parent's have chose to raise them in then even if I disagree with the lifestyle they chose they still have the right as parents to make that choice. And you're equating nuditiy with lust but people in nudist colonies don't. That's like saying that the tribes in Africa and other countries that don't wear clothes are disgusting and immoral, and I don't think they are, they have a completely different outlook and mindset towards nudity and don't equate it with lust or sex. |

Nope I wouldn't, and I understand the concept Base, but I also understand Children and how parents sometimes equate their values. Being nude may not always be sexual, I understand that. BUT I do not understand how an adult would choose to put a child in this situation. I don't understand it and I would never be comfortable being undressed in front of my family. For sure, it is a lifestyle choice. Debating is one thing but when a debate conflicts with what one could or would accept in the "real world", then there is the real opinion. I wouldn't let adults be naked around my grandkids, I would most likely have the support of my same age friends who hold similar positions and some who are in judicial fields as well. |

Personally any parent who would expose their child to adult nudity would find themselves in a heap of trouble around here. It may be covered up, and so be it. But don't tell me about it, I have lots of friends and I never hesitate to call them when needed. When it comes to children, don't expect or assume they always should "view normal" what they are exposed to. Some kids get raped or beaten, and that's their world... don't make me keep going, because I will. A child is not property, not an appendage, and I can't stand that "I brought you in, I can take you out mentality", if you want to "share your bod" do it with someone your own age. Please, leave the kids alone. |

In our society, no I don't think it is appropriate. I know I would NEVER let my son attend a nudist camp. Now, come people are brought up to think that being naked is the way it should be. Those people usually aren't in it for the sex. However, with teenage hormones, the decision to attend a nudist camp should not be allowed until they are 18. Like Kethria said, in some cultures, that is the way of life. It is not indecient nor "sinful" for them. For our society, we are too focused on the sex aspect of nudity to let children attend a nudist camp.  |

Could be Az, but NOT in my neighborhood. An adult has the right to make a choice like this, but a child who is exposed to adults being naked and I don't for a minute believe that some adults are innocent. Keth, ignorance in culture is something that we cannot equate to in this country. We are not poverty stricken and have a welfare system for those who can't afford clothes. All I can say is most well educated people don't strut their stuff in front of kids, call it what you want. But here in Ohio, you do jail time. Simple, as that. For those that have only seem to be able to see the "adult nudest" view, I give up. But nudist colonies are not something I am worried about, children will be protected, and that's the bottom line. I simply don't care who dangles what, until you do it with kids, then I will be using every bit of my mouth to get someone who feels the need to introduce a child to a lifestyle that obviously could lead to a trauma for a child. But hey, in you own home... whatever... |

51649, exploration is admirable and go for the gold, hun. But Kids don't need to be brought up according to your views or your need for exploration. Raising a child sometimes means letting go of "alternative behaviour" not accepted by the majority of society. I am a nurse, most of my family is in healthcare, my son in law is a doctor. Suppose we present ourselves as tough looking people with total body tattoos and lots of rough, tough language. Nasty looking teeth and no clothes. And you are the one in ER with a medical emergency? Will your perception of our appearrance enhance your worry concerning our ability or perhaps we should "give in" and talk "cool"? All I can say is that usually most people who have children accept "living within the standards, set be society", knowing that children need not be exposed to every element of culture that may well cause or bring mental problems or expose them to an element of what likely is considered "perversion" by our culture and standards in the US. |

Brenda, that's just the thing, it's not in your neighborhood. Like it or not, there are nudist colonies and these people spend the majority of their time doing everything and anything in the nude. Like others have stated their view of nakedness is similiar to that of a Indian or perhaps an African tribe and they don't view nudity in the same way. It's also not the sexual way that you are thinking and it's certaintly not all hard, young and buff bodies. These colonies have people from all ages and all different walks of life. Take your own neighborhood and look at the variety of body sizes and ages then strip them nude and you have the same thing. The kids that would attend this camp have spent their entire lives naked around other people and since the law has come about because of one specific colony holding a week long summercamp, they have all probably played with each other on the playground a million times in nothing but their birthday suits. So what is the difference if they all go hang out at Joe's house and watch a movie in the nude or they sit around a campfire sharing ghosts stories in the nude? |

For sure in some cultures nudity is the norm, but it isn't here and it isn't in your neighborhood either. We can do what we please in our home as long as the kids don't tell. See what I mean, every society and culture has a "normal" behaviour. We cannot always accept standards set by some as our own. Nudity may not equate to sexuality but in our culture, we walk a thin, fine line. |

Brenda, I suggest doing some reading about nudest colonies because your image of what it is and what it's all about is way off base. You are correct that WE (the clothed society)don't find this normal, but those that live in nudest colonies DO. They aren't talking about starting up a camp where any old person is going to send their kid for a week long raging hormone fest. It's a camp run by the nudist colony itself for the kids of the nudist colony to attend that sparked the whole issue with banning this. No ones talking about people walking around all over the place or flaunting themselves naked in public in front of yours or anyone else's children. |

I won't because it is their view, and I don't accept it. Why would I want to waste time reading about it. I understand that THEY have camps and certainly we all have the right to choose whether or not our children or in my case, grandchildren, should or would attend. But I take on cases every day WHERE I will challenge others and what they think is normal "behaviour" and I will challenge them in a court of law especially when I feel a child is being compromised by an adult's values or perceptions. For sure we standards set be society and culture, some we don't like. Some are "infringements" on our rights, and like smoking in a bar, I have to wonder how many kids are there? An adult can choose where to work or play or how they live their life. A child simply accepts those standards because they have no other choice. Ask your kid how they feel about adults being naked post their view point. Yours isn't the issue. |
