5km colour fun run through the park. It’s a FUN run so you don’t have to be a pro. You can run, jog, walk… Date: July 1, 2016 Registration: 9 am Start Time: 10 am Organized by The Nude Run 5k who have been doing it in the US since 2011. The “colour” aspect of the run is that runners are showered with coloured corn starch at various stages of the course.

Since Bruce first built the community gardens in 2010, we have been doing Square Foot Gardening. It’s a more environmentally friendly way to garden where you get the same production but in only 20% of the space. It is easy plus it saves water, resources, time and effort. There is a video on YouTube that explains it well. This year Bruce rebuilt the 4′ x 4′ raised beds and he 4’x4′ and are now available for planting.  He provided the labour and Bare Oaks paid for the materials so using the garden is free for members. They are available on a first come, first servedRead More →

It’s time again for our annual volunteer day. While there are many people volunteering all year, this is the day we set aside for a massive volunteer effort to get things ready for the season.

Volunteer Day –  Saturday May 14, 2016 10am to 3pm Everyone is welcome! Lunch will be provided, free of charge, for all volunteers by the Bare Bistro. Jobs varyRead More →

  For the first time, the Bare Bistro has been opened through the winter. We kept that news relatively quiet because it was a test. Restaurant operations were serviced by the person in charge of the office and store. That meant that when a member or visitor wanted a meal or drink, the team member had to close the office and switch to the restaurant kitchen. It was not the fastest service and the menu had to be limited due to the low volume. But at least it was possible to have a drink, a snack, lunch or an early dinner by the fire inRead More →

We are sad to announce that Larry Bean passed away last Sunday. For five year, he and his wife Carol owned and operated The New Forest Naturist Resort which was sold in 2006 and renamed Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. It started in 2001 when they purchased the assets of Town & Country Resorts Inc out of bankruptcy. The property had once been the Toronto Helios Society and it was their plan to return it to nudism. For the next 5 years, they did a number of renovations. Of those, their most enduring legacy at the park was the creation Lake Beamor. (a combination ofRead More →

There is now an old school video game machine downstairs in the clubhouse. The game may be old school but the system is all new. So instead of just one game, you have the choice of 12 licensed Classic 80’s video games such as Pac-Man, Galaxian and Galaga. Unlike modern video games, these are very easy to understand. And unlike handheld games, the large console is not isolating. Everyone gets to watch and cheer you on! …or criticize your technique 🙂 Retro games should have retro prices so each play is 25 cents. We’re not likely to ever make any money this way. But neitherRead More →

The 2015 Lee Baxandall Memorial Volleyball Tournament is August 14th to 16th. New Lower Prices!! Based on some research we conducted and the feedback we’ve received, the pricing structure has been completely revised. Instead of focusing on long-stay packages, we now charge by the day. This is to make it easier for new people who may not want to commit to more than one day as well as to encourage individuals who can’t attend all the days due to other commitments. Each day is now a separate tournament. Because one of the objectives of the tournament is to encourage people to try naturism for theRead More →

On Friday July 31st, we will have the privilege of a very special ceremony by a very special guest. Jake Charles of the First Nation of the Chippewas of Georgina Island will be performing the traditional sweat lodge ceremony at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. Traditionally, the First Nations people had no shame about their bodies and truly lived in harmony with nature. Their culture was very much in keeping with naturist ideals. We believe that by holding this traditional sweat lodge ceremony in a naturist environment it will make the experience even more authentic. Jake describes the ceremony as follows: The Sweat Lodge isRead More →
