Any Actual Family Nudist Resorts in the Mid-Atlantic Region?
We would like to see a family naturist resort with our two sons, ages 17 and 13. They'd be willing to go only if there are a group of other young children or teens there.
What are some of the naturist resorts in the Mid Atlantic area that commonly have a large number of kids my sons' ages? I went to one before that promised to be naturist family-oriented but I reckon the 'naturist families' had no children. Thanks.
Despite the amount of "family-friendly" nudist resorts and naturist clubs in the U.S., there are far fewer that really have a critical presence of naturist families and children.
It is sad, but it seems as though naturist clubs that were once populated by families and youngsters, you are now lucky if you find one or two "token" nudist youngsters there. Anybody who has visited nudist resorts during the 70's, 80's and 90's has probably discovered this change.
And I don't mean they merely write "Kids are welcome" on their website.
Rock Lodge has always organized special nudist family occasions during the summer, it has two playground areas and offers communal toys at the sand and game places. They truly make a conscious attempt to appeal to naturist families with young kids.
Growing up during the 90's, I seen a rapid decline in the number of kids at RL. By the time I was 12, I had one best friend my age and 1-2 other girls to hang out with, depending on who was around.
My younger brother stopped visiting our naturist club completely because there were no longer any young lads around his age.

But whether there are 5 children or 20 children, I still recommend RL as they are actually an excellent location for young families.
But what is to account for this particular change in the demographic at nudist resorts and naturist clubs? My best guess is that it's due to a deficiency of marketing. It's the identical motive clubs aren't enticing young adult naturists. They're not adapting to the 21st century and using today's tools to bring in new people.
This lack of online presence is an important problem and unfortunately, many naturist companies are likely to go under unless they change their MO.
In addition, there may also be some clubs that determined to become more swinger-oriented, or couples-only, or determined to simply cater to empty-nesters only.
Whatever the cause, I believe the nudist community needs to be more pro active in bringing in more naturist families and children again. There is no motive naturist clubs and resorts should not be filled with them! It is a disgrace to see them disappear from nudist areas and finally, it is a hindrance to the growth of the naturist movement as a whole.
One of the most pervasive and harmful myths about naturism in the U.S. is that it is not "family-friendly" and that nudity is bad for children. This myth has no basis in reality, and studies on the matter have actually found that simple nudity is advantageous to children.
But https://s3.amazonaws.com/naturism-aa/young-nudist-teen-pics.html persists and it is constantly used an excuse to shut down unclothed beaches and naturist areas (or to reject suggestions for new ones). The possible lack of real families in naturism isn't helping to squash this idea.
As for the response to the question above, I urged seeing Rock Lodge, notably during holiday weekends and their particular family days. I have also seen quite several children at Empire Haven during the annual Northeast Naturist Festival (though I can't speak for the routine Empire Haven season, but I'm figuring there is not generally a lot of children.)
Large naturist events and festivals, given which they're child-friendly, are usually a good idea since they bring a lot of individuals.
Besides that, I'm kind of at a loss because of this area. At other clubs, I Have either seen only one or two children, or we were not there long enough to see the normal bunch.
What can you recommend, readers? Do you know any family friendly naturist resortwhere you've seen an important existence of families / children in the Midatlantic area? (I don't understand precisely where they reside, but the Midatlantic region can comprise New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, D.C., Virginia & West Virginia.)
