Pulling Naturist Youth and Podcast Interview with Felicity

Getting More Fkk Youth Involved in Nudism:
Fkk Youth - Yesterday the latest podcast of the Naturist Living Show came out entitled "Attracting Youth." If you've never heard of the show, it's a monthly podcast by Stephane Deschenes, owner of Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park in Ontario, Canada. I do not understand how many of you listen to podcasts, but this Internet radio show music genre seems to have grown in popularity in the last few years. Yet, in the world of nudism, Stephane is ahead of the game because he's got the only fkk podcast in the world right now and a large following to boot.
Stephane asked to interview me for this month's show about young naturists, who we are and what we are doing. Then there is an interview with me, followed by an interview with Jess of the website Naked Vegan Cooking. If you want some suggestions or guidance on bringing youth to nudism, listen to this podcast. Stephane knows what he's doing. Bare Oaks is known for its youthful visitors, members and staff, and apparently they had hundreds of visitors under age 35 this past summer. It is also one of the few clubs in North America that offers a discount rate to young adults (age 25 and below).

Stephane makes several good points, and I simply want to quote him on one that I think gets overlooked. He states that a vital part of attracting young people is having a "powerful naturist doctrine." He says:
"I think you have to be quite idealistic, I think you've got to be an ethical naturistbecause when you're young is when you're at your most idealistic. That's when you are most involved in causes. That is when a message of health and social justice and having a better world generally speaking in terms of body approval and getting along together. That message calls more accurate when you are younger"
Nudist Youth
I think about my 24-year old self and how I desire to save the planet. So, yeah. https://s3.amazonaws.com/naturist-last/nudist-family-photos.html is totally accurate. And look at how many young people rally around the World Naked Bike Ride worldwide, for instance. Give them a good motive or cause to get naked, and make way for nude youth on bicycles!
As FKK, we have got this part covered. In reality it goes back to why we started FKK to begin with, because naturism to us is definitely about considerably more than just getting naked. At its center, we consider the naturist movement should be about approval, as Stephane quotes us on. It is what makes us body positive and sex-positive! We have a set of ideals and causes we care about and fight for. While I think there are folks who merely want to get nude (or see nude people perhaps), I definitely agree with Stephane on this point, that it's an important aspect to consider when trying to attract youth to the naturist movement.
In the segment with Jess, I think it's worth noting that his blog is run by several young adults who are not just about cooking naked, but also work to encourage body positivity, health and knowledge of problems they care about. It is also interesting to notice that although Jess engages in social nudity, he wouldn't label himself a nudist or naturist. He has never visited a fkk club, nor does he think such places are applicable to his practice of social nudity. He mentions there are many young individuals who try social nudism without thinking about it in nudist terms. We observe this trend ourselves only in the amounts of individuals who have not visited any nudist club before attending a FKK gathering.

What do my readers think? Is having a visible, defined naturist philosophy an important part of engaging young people in naturism? Does a deficiency of one lead to a lack of interest in visiting naturist clubs, resorts or attending fkk group occasions?
