Dive into freedom and fun this Nude Recreation Week! Embrace body positivity and the simplicity of living free from garments.
Dive headfirst into summer by celebrating Nude Recreation Week beginning on July 8! This liberating week was first started in the 1970s by the American Association for Nude Recreation in a fun and cheery embrace of body positivity and the freeing nature of being unencumbered by clothing. Designed not only to encourage acceptance of our own bodies in their most natural state, but also to increase respect and appreciation for those of others, this week serves as a fabulous time to enjoy outdoor activities the way we came into this world – completely free and unadulterated. So take the plunge, and celebrate the simplicity of life sans textiles!
