This year, Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is introducing a new event: a group trip to France! We have partnered with one of our members, Pauline from Nakations.ca, to organize a fun and affordable naturist vacation to France. While the modern naturist movement is generally accepted to have started in Germany, it was France that perfected the large scale naturist resort. The combination of warm southern France, beaches on the ocean, and the French passion for vacationing naturally combined to create massive naturist resorts. The oldest of these resorts is the Centre Helio Marin Montalivet – best known as the CHM Montalivet. With over 3,000Read More →

From our new webpage at: http://www.bareoaks.ca/index.php/en/about-naturism/ethical-naturism.html Nudist vs Naturist Which term is used depends partially on where you are. In Europe, the term “naturist” is used almost exclusively while “nudist” is often derogatory. In the United States, most people who attend clubs call themselves nudists because they belong to the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) who uses the term “nudist”. Americans who go to free beaches tend to prefer to identify themselves as “naturists” because historically, the Naturist Society (TNS) has been the biggest defender of free beaches in the United States. In Canada, the official naturist organizations are called the Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN) andRead More →

A bear was spotted on Wednesday night near the garbage bin. While this is the first confirmed sighting that we know of, we have been told by the Ministry of Natural Resources that they do live in our area. They are rare and generally stay away from people and residences. And we want it to remain that way. In particular, we want to avoid having “smells and treats” that might invite him further into the park (bird feeders, hummingbird feeders, pet food, composting etc.) as bears at this time of year are looking for food before hibernation. The following link has some great information bothRead More →

We’ve already had a few nights below freezing. That means that we need to shut down the seasonal water supply to prevent damage. That impacts all campsites in Beckett Circle and a few connections in Helios Circle. The shutdown is scheduled for this Friday (October 19th) We will try to keep the washrooms and showers in Beckett Circle open a bit longer. If you have a trailer, this is also the time to winterize it otherwise you may experience damage.  If you need someone to winterize your trailer, please contact the office for recommendations. We will also be closing the pool. But given the weatherRead More →

There has been a rumour going around that children are not welcome at the Halloween Dinner and Dance. It is the policy of Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park that nobody is excluded from any park-sanctioned activity. That includes events organized by volunteer members and approved by the social committee. With regards to the upcoming Halloween Dinner and Dance, we have spoken to the organizers and they told us that they are not excluding children from attending. In order to emphasize this, they are now offering a half-price ($10) ticket for children 10 and under. There certainly are events at Bare Oaks that may be better suitedRead More →

You may have wondered why so many of the $5 bills you get at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park have been stamped with the words “Track this bill online: www.WheresWilly.com”. That’s because we’re participating in a currency tracking website called Where’s Willy? (related to the US version called Where’s George?) “Willy” is a reference to The Right Honourable Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911, who adorns the Canadian $5 bill. Why?  Because it is fun to see just how far money travels from Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. So far, we’ve entered the serial number of 354 $5 bills andRead More →

Most people by now have noticed the monument on the north side of Jarvis Pond that was lovingly built by Ulli, one of our members who is a very talented mason. The inspiration for the memorial cairn was the sudden and unexpected loss last year of Steve Cripps who was a very active member of the Bare Oaks community. While we hope that all our members will live a very long life, we also recognize that we are all here temporarily. A memorial seemed like a perfect way to remember those who would always want to be here in spirit. It is our hope thatRead More →
