What is Wasatch Naturists?expand_more
We’re an active social club for people who enjoy naturism and social nude recreation. To us, it’s all about body freedom, self-acceptance, and spending time with great people in a safe, non-sexual environment.
What does it cost to join?expand_more
There is no cost to join, however there is a cost to attend most of our events. We do offer tiers of membership that provide discounts to events.
Why do people choose nude recreation?expand_more
Nude recreation embraces the joy of living and experiencing nature in the most natural way possible. To relax and be nude is to let yourself be totally free. Although we enjoy clothing-free activities in appropriate settings, we also choose to wear clothes when practical. Naturists respect each other’s individuality. Our own self-esteem is enhanced by our ability to accept ourselves as we really are. We find it easy to accept others regardless of physical size, shape, or body condition. Moreover, social class distinctions, often indicated by clothing, disappear. Relaxation, stress relief, positive body image, and increasing self-esteem are just a few of the reasons people choose the naturist lifestyle.
What are the benefits of nude recreation?expand_more
Self-esteem is enhanced in the naturist world, where body acceptance is the norm. The conversation seems to come easier. Many report the “time warp” phenomenon. A one day respite spent clothes-free seems to relax people more than an entire weekend elsewhere. Without clothes, stress seems to melt away.
Will I feel self-conscious?expand_more
Most first-timers adjust to social nudity in a matter of minutes and discover it’s not nearly as big a deal as they thought it would be. Some feel self-conscious before they undress since they’re likely to be the only ones not nude.
How will I feel if I’m not in the greatest physical shape?expand_more
You’ll feel right at home. At our events, you’ll encounter bodies and body parts of all shapes and sizes. Some may be bigger or smaller than yours, but you’ll quickly realize that size truly doesn’t matter and no one cares. The whole point of social nudism is looking beyond appearances and connecting with the person within. It’s an incredible experience that will boost your self-esteem and help you accept and love your body as it is.
Club Etiquette & Rules
Guidelines on how we behave and protect each other's privacy.
Is nudity required at your events?expand_more
Not at all. Nudity is encouraged, but always optional. No one will judge you or pressure you to participate in a way that doesn’t feel right for you.
What kind of events do you have?expand_more
Our most common events are nude swims held at private swimming pools. We also have potluck parties and game nights at members’ homes. Past events have included karaoke parties, paint nights, and even casino parties. We are always trying to add activities for our members. Just about any activity can be done in the nude as long as it’s held at a private location.
What kind of people will I find at a Wasatch Naturists event?expand_more
You’ll find a cross-section of society, with people representing all colors, religions, occupations, body types, age groups, and income brackets. Without clothes, however, it’s less likely you’ll know a bank president from a bus driver.
Do men get visibly excited?expand_more
Not often. On the rare occasion where this occurs, simply don a towel or take a quick dip in the pool.
What if we receive unwelcome advances?expand_more
This rarely happens. If it does, simply report it to club leaders and steps will be taken to ensure it does not happen again. Everyone should feel comfortable. Behavior requiring an apology is not tolerated.
Will my picture be taken or my privacy compromised?expand_more
We understand that privacy is paramount to our members and their families. Your picture will never be taken without your knowledge and consent, and our membership list will never be made public.
Safety & Vetting
How we maintain a secure, wholesome environment for everyone.
Can I bring my kids to events?expand_more
Yes. Naturism is for all ages, and our events are family-friendly. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. In the naturist community, kids are guarded by everyone. Always keep an eye out for anyone or anything suspicious around kids.
Is nude recreation legal in Utah?expand_more
Yes, as long as no one is present who would be affronted or alarmed by nudity and events are non-sexual. All of our events are on private property and no behavior or discussions of a sexual nature are permitted. Everyone who attends must be fully vetted and pass a background check.
What about naturism and religion?expand_more
Naturists find nothing inconsistent between nude recreation and their convictions. You’ll find all faiths – and people of no faith – represented at naturist events. Some of our members are active members of the LDS church.
