Make the most of 2025 by challenging yourself to a weekly “First Time for Everything” activity. It can be something fun, or instructive, or inspiring, and definitely rewarding. Do it solo, as a couple, family, or group of friends. One thing we encourage is to plug into that activities list you develop, a skinny-dip, a trip to a sanctioned nude beach, and a Nakation℠ vacation visit to a clothing-optional or clothes-free nudist resort/RV park/campground affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation (aanr.com).
Don’t have a lot of vacation time? Plan a “hush trip” Nakation vacation. Hush trips are seen as a fairly new travel trend where a remote worker takes a trip that overlaps with working hours and doesn’t inform their employer where they are working from.
Guess what Gen X thru Z? “Hush trips” have been enjoyed by Boomers and Seniors in the U.S. since the late 1920s, when folks began taking Nakations at clothing optional resorts/campgrounds. These were very low profile “hush trips,” as naturists were (and to a certain extent, still are today) concerned for employers’ discrimination as regards to respectability and acceptability of their clothes less recreation and relaxation culture.
Take it from AANR, which for 94 years has been the preeminent authority in North America protecting the freedoms and rights of those who participate in wholesome nude recreation, a Nakation will benefit you immensely. AANR’s membership demonstrate categorically that life is enhanced by the naturalness of social nudity. From exercise to relaxation, a person’s physical, spiritual, and mental well-being is enriched through nude recreation and slumber. It’s nothing sexual, but rather a choice to be closer to nature, capture an all-over tan, and as an added benefit live simply and healthier.
Did you know there are many important benefits associated with donning one’s birthday suit during leisure time? Body acceptance is one, as when shedding one’s clothing we also remove the metaphorical masks we wear, enabling us to drop society driven defenses. Fun in the sun in the altogether also benefits one’s skin with full vitamin D exposure, which is important to maintaining a healthy immune system. Nudity and its vitamin D extracted wellness benefits also include mood improvement, better sleep, fewer states of depression in some, and reduced anxiety.
So travelers, take the challenge and include a visit to an AANR resort/club/campground. To find a location near or far from home visit: aanr.com/club-locator.
