Members’ Meeting All members are invited to come and get an update on what’s happening at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park and ask questions. Don’t rely on the rumour mill. Get the facts directly from the source. This year we’re making it a lunch-time meeting so we’ll have food and drink available. (Yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch!) In order to maintain order, Heather will moderate the meeting questions and answers. Ken had suggested this (and volunteered to do it) but could not attend. It’s a great suggestion and Heather has volunteered to be the moderator. The new social committee (seeRead More →

We are honoured that the Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN) has selected Bare Oaks as the location for the FCN library. When finished, the library will contain several donated collections of magazines, newspaper clippings, videos and other archival material from the world of naturism that go back to the beginning of the 20th century. It will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Canadian naturist history. To make it work, the FCN needs volunteers. We need: Head Librarian – To organize and catalog the collection. Renovators – To fix up the inside of the trailer and to build a deck in front. Attendants –Read More →
