OUR PHILOSOPHY
- Drakes Ridge Rustic Nudist Retreat is an organization devoted to the freedom of the individual. Removal of clothing is both symbolic and practical in achieving personal and body acceptance as well as removing social barriers.
- Members come from all walks of life and religious faiths and all age levels and ethnic backgrounds as well as persons of all shapes and sizes.
- We choose not to impose rules which would destroy our objectives.
- The use of first names is customary to promote the friendliness we espouse. We also respect the fact that some persons wish to keep their affiliation private.
- We respect nature and ask that no wildlife, plant or animal, be harassed or destroyed unnecessarily.
- We request everyone's efforts to keep the club grounds clean. We are a cooperative club and encourage members to help.
- We welcome children with their parents, as children make natural nudists.
- We maintain a wholesome family atmosphere. Innocent expressions of affection among family members and friends are commonplace, but overt sexual activity is unacceptable. Behavior which disrupts the harmony and tranquility of the club is not permitted.
- The fundamental distinction between a summer resort and a nudist park is, that at the latter, clothing is not compulsory. Naturally if you desire membership, we expect that you want to remove your clothing when nature's circumstances are favorable. Nudity in the pool is required for everyone. However, as a newcomer you will have time to adjust to a new experience.
- Drakes Ridge Rustic Nudist Retreat is a family oriented club affiliated with American Association for Nude Recreation, AANR Midwest, and The Naturist Society.
