A film production company looking for extras to appear in a shower scene. It is for a feature film, directed by Sarah Polley, that is being filmed in Toronto. They are looking for WOMEN to be background extras in a locker room scene where some of the cast are talking after a workout. The main character in the scene will either be showering or changing after a work out. There are other female cast members that will also be nude in this scene. There is no sexual contact of any kind. People interested in the job must be comfortable with full nudity. They want WOMENRead More →

Well over 100 people participated in the 7th World Naked Bike Ride in Toronto yesterday. The weather was grey and cool but none of that kept participants from stripping and riding. Thankfully, the rain held off until the last five minutes of the ride. The group included a significant contingent from Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park.

Last fall, a blog post told the story of the Growers Cider ads that were done at Bare Oaks. [click here to read] At the time the ads were on billboards and transit shelters in British Columbia and Alberta. Later, the campaign was extended to a website. This year, the campaign has come to Ontario. (as you can see above) In this image, all of the people featured are regulars at Bare Oaks. We’ll let you figure out who they are. Some of my friends and neighbours who recognized me as they drove by the billboard thought it was part of a promotional campaign for BareRead More →

For those of you would like to have a garden plot at Bare Oaks, we announce the opening of “The Naked Gardens”. There’s no better way to feel at one with nature than to tend your garden and then harvest the fruits of your labour. It’s also a wonderful learning experience for children. We are 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. Visit www.squarefootgardening.com for more details The 4’x4′ raised beds are now available for planting.  ThereRead More →

Being nude is the best way (and the most natural way) to maximize vitamin D production. The more skin we expose to the sun the more vitamin D is synthesized. According to Dr. Michael Holick, when we make vitamin D in the skin, it last 2-3 time longer in the body than supplements & dietary sources.  So we are now carrying Dr. Holick’s new book, The Vitamin D Solution, in the Bare Boutique at Bare Oaks.  There has been an enormous amount of information in recent years about the importance of the “sunshine vitamin” on our health. Research studies have suggested that it helps us fightRead More →

We’re very pleased to announce that, for the first time, the Bare Bistro is now fully licensed. (in previous years, liquor was sold under special occasions permits) Also, a reminder that the Bare Bistro is now open 7 days per week. (see the Bare Bistro website for hours of operation) There has been much speculation about what it means to have a licensed establishment within Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park.  In fact, nothing has changed legally, as a result of the liquor license other than you are now able to purchase wine, beer and other drinks at the Bare Bistro. What we did learn isRead More →

We are very happy to announce that Liz Savel will be operating the Bare Bistro this summer.  Many of you will know Liz from the wonderful volunteer dinners and breakfasts during the winter season. Liz enjoyed volunteering so much that she decided to try it as a business this year. We have had a hard time finding the right person to operate the restaurant at Bare Oaks. (we’ve had 4 people in 3 years) But we think that Liz has the right combination of customer service skills, cooking talent and business ability. And for the first time, the Bare Bistro will be open 7 daysRead More →

For the past few years, we have provided an informal service for members who wish to receive mail at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. It has worked relatively well but there are some problems. First, several people have expressed concerns that our current mail handling system lacks privacy. It is certainly true that anyone can see what mail you are receiving. Secondly, the present system provides minimal security provisions. Anyone could take your mail without your knowledge. Finally, the volume of mail we have been dealing with has been growing steadily. We therefore require a more secure, formal and cost-effective mail handling process. So effectiveRead More →

Photo by:Modulor In Winnipeg, Ray and Sue Ryynanen, who are the owners of the land where the Crocus Grove Sun Club resides, decided to turn it into a textile campground and rename the property as Sandhill Pines. The media naturally jumped to the conclusion (with the recent stories about the closing of Glen Echo) that naturism in Canada was on the decline. This resulted in some press coverage for Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park because we are an exception to that conclusion. The Crocus Grove Sun Club is also disagreeing with that inference. They are actively looking for a new property. The Canadian Press did a story that wasRead More →
