Shortly after millions of people across the country join together to celebrate our nation's independence on July 4, there will be a week-long celebration of freedom of a different kind - - as nudist clubs throughout the United States and Canada open their doors for Nude Recreation Week.

Now in its 28th year, Nude Recreation Week is July 7-13, and gives first-timers the chance to shed their stresses through a glimpse into clothes-free recreation. This annual celebration is an open invite for individuals - and families - to visit one of the 267 clothing-optional clubs affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR), and experience firsthand a rapidly growing trend in both travel and recreation.

All AANR-affiliated clubs have activities and events planned throughout the week, for the club nearest you log onto the association's website at www.aanr.com.
