Principles of Nudism
» Heterogeneous
Ever since as a young lad I saw photos in a nudist magazine they’ve always seemed a very dull bunch to me:
Riel posted a sign to explain the Natural Friends League’s principles of nudism:
“You may consider yourself on your honor to be ladies and gentlemen, although I hardly believe a true nudist could be anything else,” he wrote.
“It is the purpose of this league to inspire within a clean body the fundamentals of health and higher morality. We have been said to be seekers of health through nudism. But I want it made clear to you now that we are not seekers of health but the leaders for others to follow.”
Nudists followed a strict regimen every Sunday at the camp. The day began at 5 a.m. with group exercises and a brisk swim. Breakfast was served at 7 a.m. followed by a relaxation hour. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., campers enjoyed volleyball, baseball, handball and tennis.
