About Our Club: We are a group of canoeists and kayakers who are also naturists (we enjoy nude recreation). Unlike most clubs, we don't specialize in any particular type of trip, such as whitewater or sea-kayaking. We sponsor as wide a variety of trips as possible. Our emphasis is on quality trips in areas where we can skinnydip without legal hassles. All our trips are family-oriented, therefore inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Because many of our trips are into remote locations and because we place the utmost emphasis on safety, our trips are alcohol-free.
