Today we are releasing the Naturist Colouring Book as part of an ongoing campaign to promote the benefits of naturism for youth and to encourage families to explore naturism together. The 20-page book features black & white cartoons by naturist illustrators Grace Crowley from Australia and Reinder Dijkhuis from the Netherlands. The images are of naturist families in typical settings. As you may have noticed, we have been answering questions and addressing misconceptions about children in naturism since June with videos on Bare Oaks’ social media. This book is just another part of our campaign to promote the benefits of growing up in a naturistRead More →

Each year we experience an increase in visitors. A couple of years ago we built a new parking lot for those busy days. We made it bigger than what we thought we needed in order to accommodate future growth. Much to our surprise, we already filled it twice this year. With the increased attendance has come greater water consumption. We realized last year that we needed to boost treatment capacity to replenish the two 20,000-liter cisterns after the morning and evening rush. We approved an estimate from a supplier last fall but they did not actually do the work until last week. We apologize forRead More →

In the last decade, online ordering has exploded. What use to be an occasional task has become a daily tsunami of trucks, delivery people, and packages. (this image is just one day’s worth of packages) So effective June 1st, we will be charging $5 per delivery. ($2 for those with a mailbox) Some exceptions will be made upon request for people disabilities. Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is a place where people come for leisure. We are a recreational facility so there is no inherent right to receive mail or packages. The objective with this new policy is not to make money but to reduceRead More →

This year has been quite the rollercoaster for Bare Oaks, with an unbelievable number of surprise expenses that have left us both frustrated and exhausted. It seems like everything that could break, did break, and often at the most inconvenient times. Here’s a rundown of the unexpected challenges we faced and how we managed to keep our spirits high despite the setbacks. First, we discovered a pool leak under the concrete deck, which was not only expensive to fix but also time-consuming. Then one of our septic systems decided to give up on us. This was a major issue that required immediate attention, and theRead More →

Stacey started working with us as a customer support team member in the office. She progressed to assistant manager over the winter and became a full manager, along with Rachel, after successfully managing the spring startup. Last week, Rachel left us so that she could have more freedom to travel around the world. That now makes Stacey the sole operations manager for the park. It is indeed a big job but we already know she’s up to the task. She is here to ensure that our members and guests have a delightful naturist experience. But that is not something she can do alone. We haveRead More →

Campsite Available For several years, Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park has been a dealer of General Coach Park Model trailers. Unfortunately sales have been slow because we have no empty sites available. But recently, site 200B was vacated. This is the first time in years that a site has become available without a trailer. So  we have decided that site 200B will go to the first person who makes a deal to purchase a brand-new, tailor-made General Coach Canada park model trailer through us. If you previously heard that the timeline on delivery was quite long, we have good news!  Things have settled down andRead More →

Two months after we started, the pool is finally open!  After a lot of work, the leak was found under the deck. We broke up the concrete and our pool company came and repaired the broken pipe. The concrete deck was repaired. The pool was then cleaned and the chemistry was brought into balance. The York Region health unit came to inspect and authorized opening!  There is still a bit more work to be done to fix the south part of the deck. But that has been blocked off for now so the pool can be used!Read More →

When we started work on opening the pool in April, we found that it lost a significant amount of water overnight. Clearly, something broke over the winter. We spent several days trying to locate a leak but couldn’t find anything. We then scheduled a visit by a pool company but they could not find any visible leaks either. They suggested a specialized business that can find underground leaks. That company came and found that the leak is below the concrete deck. We are now waiting for the pool company to come and break up the concrete, replace the broken pipes, and repour the deck. OnceRead More →
