IVOR - A nudist park in the woods of Southampton County is preparing to open the nation's newest nude summer camp for adolescents.

White Tail Park in Ivor plans to welcome 30 boys and girls ages 11 to 18 tomorrow and Sunday for a weeklong camp that its owner says is traditional in every sense except that the campers will wear no clothes.

He said the park welcomes visitors and normally offers a free one-day admission to those who want to see what it's like, but the camp watches whom it admits. For example, Roche said, a married man wanting to visit the camp would be required to bring his wife.

Discrimination! Call the ACLU!

I'll bet they won't admit priests and scoutmasters either.

Perhaps Mr. Roche should rename it Young Tail Park.

The ratio of adults to campers will be roughly 1½-to-1, he said.

Uh-huh.

With the hot, humid, muggy Georgia weather we are having, I've decided that the idea of wearing clothes is definitely overrated.

"White Tail Park"? I guess so, at least for the first day in the sun. After that, I presume things could change...the, with adolescent boys, it gives new meaning to spending the day in the "woods"...

This camp is located very close to the Blackwater River and in this area its contributaries form a swamp which resembles something out of a horro movie. We have a farm very close by and I must say to be running naked in this area you brain cells are very nembered. Cotton mouths are plentiful not to mention insects. White Tail Colony for a few I guess.

Teenagers, with their hormones raging as they do at this time of their lives, together at a nudist camp.

Ahh, the possibilities...

God created us naked and unashamed.

Yes, you are right. He did.

HOWEVER, that unashamedness quickly came to a halt when sin entered the human race through Adam and Eve's disobedience:

"But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said; Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." [Genesis 3:3]

The immediate result being:
"And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." [Genesis 3:7]

Something definitely changed...aside from their new "awareness" of being naked. For shortly thereafter the Bible says they heard the voice of God calling Adam:

"And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." [Genesis 3:10]

What does this have to do with nudist camps, whether they be adult, teen, child, or whatever? Nothing...except just one more example of mankind's neverending love affair with "SELF" ... as in "self"/idol-worship -- worship of the "created" instead of fearful, reverent worship of the CREATOR. (IMHO, of course.)

God created us naked and unashamed.

And he gave gorillas fur and opposing thumbs and they still haven't figured out how to sew yet.

Voyeurism happens in locker rooms too (Australia and Great Britain are looking at banning cellphones with cameras; no mention of banning the voyeurs).

U.K. fears camera phones’ use by pedophiles

Pools ban camera phones from changing rooms to deter peeping Toms

Australia Bans Mobile Phones from Swimming Pools

If Virginia Govenor Mark Warner (D), RepublicRAT RINOs state AG Jerry Kilgore, Senators George Allen and John Warner, and a host of trivial pissant state reps of all political persuasions, hadn't wasted the last month trying to regulate college football conference memberships from the bench, (posted here) , they might have seen this coming and been able to shut down the minor's division of the Naked Camp before it opens tomorrow.

FReepers of the other 49 states, Remember the names Warner, Allen, and Kilgore. They may be seeking national office one day.

Gee, you reckon? Of course, THESE kids don't think about THAT stuff.

"They consider going without clothes natural and healthy rather than sexually provocative, he said."

Of course ... NOT provocative, especially amongst hormone driven teens. Nah, men who are visually stimulated won't be affected at all viewing naked women. Nah, just good clean fun. (LOL)

If God wanted us to be nude He wouldn't have provided cover for Adam and Eve. Nor would we have an inborn sense of modesty that today seems out of fashion.

You wrote my thoughts. Imagine how they could easily film this charade and people there wouldn't be aware of it. They could make tons of money with live coverage. Like a pay per view website 24 hours a day for how ever long this farce lasts.
