Being from Washington DC, maybe you could lobby Congress for more liberal Federal laws on nudism. Actually maybe you could recruit the Washington aids, staffers, andinterns into your nudist organization. They are the ones who really run things in Washington and they can have a majorinfluence on new laws effecting nudism.
they are two different things. a group for younger people so they can associate with others their own age is one thing, being denied entry becauseyou are single is bordering on discrimination. the singles issue is almost saying that single men are only their to oggle the ladies. if the younger people want to be with older nudists then they can go to a club, if older people want to be around younger people then maybe they should get their club/resort to make it more accepting/friendly towards the younger generation. yes it is about inclusion, but everybody doesn't need to be included 24/7 - 365.
Vita Nuda was established in 2007 as an organization for young adults interested in nudsm. We have finally opened up in the Mid-Atlantic region, which includes VA, WV, MD, DC, DE, PA, and NJ. We are hosting our first event tomorrow, Sunday May 6th, in Rockville, MD. Our age limit is 30, however if you are a couple and only one of you fits in the age criteria, you are both welcome!

Good luck to you guys hopefully you can generate the interest that FYN seems to do. There is nothing wrong with having a group to try to retain younger members. There are tons of professional societies that do the same thing so it's not just old farts. While we are not young enough to be in VitNuda anymore, we sometimes put off when the only people at AANR clubs are twice our age! This not exclusionary as you said since it is just a branch of AANR that is trying to introduce and maintain membership to the younger folks.
Even though I don't live in the Mid-West area, I totally support you guys and your goals. Us young peeps really don't have a place we can call our own. It's best to assume that we'll be the minority in any nudist grouping or event. Not to bash the older gentlemen, but, my definition of fun can't be sitting around hearing about stories of the past all the time. Generation gap and all that jazz.
And for you who's saying it's wrong to not allow peeps entry due to age, what about the whole "couples only" thing? Or even worse the whole "couples and single females only" thing? Can't complain about what 1 group might be conveying with their entry requirements when there's multiple groups suggesting nudism isn'tworth itunless they're women involved :P

Do you really need this explained to you? Couples and single females policies are implemented to prevent an avalanche of single men descending on camps like a swarm of locusts, driving out some of the couples and nearly all the single women. Can you cite for me an age demographic that would have the same effect? I didn't think so. And any single man can always alter his status if he meets the right woman, God willing. Not sure how I can revert back to pre-30 years of age to be welcomed into Vita, but if anyone can tell me how, they're in the will.
ok, a few comments from the peanut gallery. First, anything that can be done to attact younger people to nudism if fine by me. With that being said, a few things should be kept in mind, and a slight flaw in shell's logic. If a member, upon turing 30 is still allowed to be part of the group, would that not " turn off" newer younger members then? Having a nite, day, or event for young nudists is great, but at the same time, effort should be put in to have that same younger group to do things with us "older' nudists. Have a few of your " young nudists" only events, but also, make it a point to have that same group go to the nearest resort on some days. ......We all look great when younger, and we all know that sometimes when were young we have a tendency to laugh at the old folks, thinking we will never be like that. Thats not a good attitude for any nudist. We should not judge anyone for body or age. .......Do I enjoy my time with other my age, you bet, and younger ones are right to feel the same way. The difference being, i do enjoy talking with and being with older and younger ones. Both age groups have much to offer, including the history, whats current, and what the future should look like. We all should hear, and listen to other age groups. The younger ones, well, they can impart the the attitudes of the younger nudists, which can help make nudism better going forward, the older ones can impart some wisdon of age. ....so, really, have your events, I think it's awesome, but do make it a point to go to a resort as a group and mingle with the old foggies. To me, thats a win win, and if you members don't want to ever go where the older ones are, well, you have a serious problem,......Just a few thoughts from the over 30 crowd....
