What We Believe
We believe in the essential wholesomeness of the human body and all
its functions.
We believe that sunshine and fresh air in immediate contact with the entire body
are basic factors in maintaining good health and happiness.
We believe that the presentation of
the male and female figures in their entirety and completeness needs no apology or defense and that only
in such an attitude of mind can we find true modesty.

Definition of a Nudist
A nudist is a person who believes that clothes are neither normal nor
natural to the human being, but may be worn when special circumstances of environment or physical comfort
would indicate the propriety of so doing. He does not conceive of the human body as being in anyway shameful
in itself but carefully distinguishes between decent and indecent exposure. He accords to every part
of the body an equally normal naturalness wholly devoid of any vulgarity or obscenity. In this view an
elbow, a pubic arch, or a nose are equally respectable; a thyroid, a testicle, a mammary are just so
many glands each with its particular but equally splendid function to perform.
The nudist holds
that sun and air bathing are essential to the maintenance of health at its best; that there is no essential
reason why the sexes should be segregated. He therefore believes and practices a non-segregated or social
nudism in games, swimming, sun and air bathing and in outdoor sports generally; while in the home, within
the family circle, he cultivates the clotheless life as being the normal life. The nudist believes, and
hopes, that the limits within which nudism may be practiced with propriety will gradually broaden until
the practice of social nudism becomes a common lifestyle.
