Chapter 35: We Are Here for the Music!

Roy Barefoot looked at Sonika Jharm then back at his audience of wide eyed teenagers before carrying on with, “Yes, dormitories ... that was the next thing I was going to talk about. At Camp Starkers ... named after the original property owners would you believe and absolutely nothing to do with actually BEING starkers!”

Roy waited patiently for another little titter of laughter to die away so he could carry on with, “ ... um ... errr ... at ... at Camp Starkers we have three sets of dormitories on the property. If you look down through those trees to the left you will see the Men’s Dormitory and down through those trees on the right you will see the Women’s Dormitory. Both sets of dormitories have their own toilets, showering facilities and changing rooms. If you look straight ahead of you out of these doors you will see another dormitory block across the other side of the grassed area. That is the Communal Dormitory and that also has its own set of toilets, showering facilities, bunk rooms and even its own recreational room. The difference between that block and the male and female block is that everything done in that block MUST be done in the nude. It also has its own dedicated swimming pool that can only be used if you are completely naked. If you are sleeping, showering, swimming or just relaxing in the Communal Block you must do it in the nude. There is also absolutely no compulsion to use the Communal Block while you are here. And if you leave in six days time and still have never used the Communal Block it won’t matter in the least. But should you want to have a go at the Nudist Lifestyle at sometime while you are here then that would be an easy place to start. If you don’t like what you experience then you can simply revert back to your respective Male and Female Dormitories as per when you arrived. Also, once you have used the Communal Block you will be at complete liberty to still move about the rest of the grounds still in the nude ... or even just partially nude if you like. We don’t make any distinction here between being a Certified Nudist or a Clothing Optional Nudist. Both options enjoy all the same privileges as each other. You can be just as sexually active as a Clothing Optional Nudist as the Certified Nudists are and Certified Nudists can still dress up or dress down as much as the Clothing Optional Nudists can. But be warned...”

If anyone’s attention had begun to drift that last statement brought it back into line with a snap. What are we going to be warned about in such a friendly atmosphere? - was the thought suddenly on nearly everyone’s mind.

“Be warned...” said Roy Barefoot again with a cheeky little grin on his face. “Be warned ... that from our experience once folks have ventured into the Communal Block, no matter how innocent their initial inspection might be ... they ALWAYS come out in the nude and rarely ever put their clothes back on again while they are here. A lot of the girls might revert to going about topless but almost no one ever goes back to being a full textile again for the duration of their stay. Don’t say I haven’t warned you!”

The Camp Director and his wife both gave a little chuckle before Roy finished with, “But again, I must stress that there is no compulsion and no hurry to move you in that direction. This facility is here purely to give you the opportunity to experience something of the Nudist Lifestyle at your leisure and at your own pace - or not at all if that is what you end up preferring! And, yes, there is also another slightly smaller swimming pool behind this pavilion for you to use that you do NOT need to swim naked in. You can wear your bathing costumes in that pool as much as you like if that’s what you are most comfortable doing or you can swim naked or topless or whatever. The choice is yours in that pool. Also, that track through the trees over there takes you down to the edge of Lake Jackson where there are some canoes and water slides for you to use - naked or not. We also have three lovely twenty minute walking tracks behind the Female Dormitory and three excellent Confidence Courses over behind the Male Dormitory - again total nudity is not mandatory. The only place that we require full nudity is in the Communal Dormitory and its swimming pool. Everywhere else the nudity is purely at your discretion.”
