Southern California Naturist Association Events and Activities

Glen Eden's Dare to be Bare Nude 5K is a great mix of serious competitive runners and those who just want to have fun joining in on a new and exciting experience. You don't even have to be a runner. You can just walk the course with your friends, because it’s not just about running. It is also very much about the people who make Glen Eden such a wonderful place.

This event has become an integral part of an informal nude 5k circuit with races at several western regional resorts. The race will happen during the AANR-West Summer Festival weekend and good attendance is expected.

The registration fee includes resort admission, t-shirt, reception, timing tag, drink voucher, and other gifts.

All classes take place on Saturday mornings from 9:30 – 10:30 AM.

For a class to be held, a minimum of five people are needed. RSVP directly to Johny at urbanbodies@hotmail.com.

Come improve your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being with other naturist men in a comfortable, affirming environment.

This is a casual gathering for the women of SCNA and their guests. They call themselves the Dragonfly Ladies because a curious dragonfly once joined them at the pool. This is an opportunity for women to meet and chat about whatever they like, without having men present. This is a great opportunity to invite a female friend who is curious about social nudity, but may prefer a gentle introduction.

The details for this gathering (time, location, and activities) are still being worked out, but it is always a fun and interesting event.

Attendees are asked to bring a potluck dish to share with the group, whether it's a main dish, side dish, salad or dessert. BYO Beverages, but please drink responsibly. Also, please let us know what you will bring when you make your RSVP, so we can avoid duplication.

Please RSVP by email to scna@socalnaturist.org, or leaving a message at 818-225-2273.

Come improve your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being with other naturists in a comfortable, affirming environment.

Each month SCNA hosts dinner and discussion groups at public restaurants around the greater Los Angeles area. These clothed events are a way to introduce people to naturism and the SCNA. We also take this opportunity to pass along the latest news affecting nudists in our region and beyond.

Since we need to get to know each other before we can invite you to one of our clothing-optional events, you must first attend one of these meet-up dinners.

Anyone with a sincere interest in naturism is welcome. All questions are appreciated. We look forward to meeting you.

Disrobed, Why So Clothed-Minded is a new, nudist-themed production being staged for this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival.

The play is produced and directed by Friends of SCNA member, Brian Knudson. Based on a 1931 play titled Barely Proper by Tom Cushing, it has been updated and Americanized by local award-winning playwright, Steven Vlasak.

The plot centers on a young, engaged couple coming home to meet her parents, but he doesn’t know that she and her family are nudists.

As with other productions by Brian for the Hollywood Fringe Festival, audiences will be nude for an immersive experience!

Broadway World published a very friendly article about the production at: https://www.broadwayworld.com/los-angeles/article/Naked-Comedy-DISROBED-Unveiled-For-Hollywood-Fringe-Festival-20190525

Each month, SCNA hosts a monthly (clothed) dinner and discussion group at different public restaurants around the greater Los Angeles area. This is a way to introduce new people to naturism and to dispel mistaken impressions that non-nudists may have about us. This meeting is also a prerequisite before we can invite you to one of our clothing-optional events. Anyone with a sincere interest in discussing naturist issues is welcome.

Our Ventura meetups are also used for coordinating Friends of Bates Beach activities.

Join up with members of NitOC and the Camping Bares who will hike down to beautiful Deep Creek Hot Springs on Saturday morning. You are responsible for your own equipment, food and drink to pack in (and to pack out any leftovers!).

Some may elect to camp overnight and return to the springs on Sunday. We will hike in at around 10:00AM Saturday. After a great day at the springs we will hike out and campers may set up tent camping next to the cars. There is no tenting allowed near the springs. After breaking camp on Sunday, those who wish will hike back down to the Springs again.

Pay at the Bowen Ranch entrance, exact change in envelope with license number if no one is there to collect your fees.

Note: The dirt road from the gate to the parking lot is in poor condition. A truck, pickup or 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended, but whatever you drive, be careful.

RSVP early to (818) 225-2273 so we can get a head count and arrange for car-pooling.

Friends of Bates Beach hosts a dinner meeting in Carpinteria on the third Tuesday each month (March through October) to plan our activities for North Rincon Beach. It is the primary coordination time for the Beach Ambassador program, community relations, and beach events.

This is also a way to introduce new people to naturism and the nude beach culture, to dispel mistaken impressions that people may have about us. Anyone with a sincere interest in discussing naturist issues is welcome. Bring yourselves, some money for food, and your thoughts and enthusiasm. Also bring your curious friends and spouses!

Reservations are not required but a call to our Message Center at (818) 225-2273 or (805) 910-6210 is appreciated so we can anticipate the head count.

Friends of Bates Beach members also meet at the monthly SCNA meetup in Ventura.

This is an SCNA-supported event. Members may wish to participate in an 18-mile ride through Los Angeles where clothing is optional, as bare as you dare.

This year the ride is divided into two parts for those who only want to ride part of the distance. The first loop (approx. 5 miles) will go through downtown LA past some classic landmarks. The second loop (approx. 13 miles) will go along the LA River, up through Silverlake and back downtown along Sunset Blvd.

At the staging area both a body-painting booth and a food truck will be available. Decorate yourself and your bike with signs or sayings reflecting the environmental aspect of the human powered transportation that we're bringing attention to. Bike rentals are available at a discount with DTLA Bikes 425 S Broadway, LA, CA 90013 (213) 533-8000.

The ride will begin at about Noon, so don’t be late!

The goal is to get the message out in a fun way that will bring smiles to un-prepared onlookers as we streak by — so smile back, wave, and spread the message!

Don’t forget to bring several bottles of water, sunscreen, sun glasses, a hat, and optionally a towel to sit on the bike seat. Cameras are also allowed, but it is polite to ask permission before taking someone’s picture.

The exact starting location will be emailed a few days before the event only to those who sign up.

For other information, and to sign up, go to: facebook.com/WNBRLA

This is a new event, organized in conjunction with NitOC, which may become an annual event to celebrate the Summer Solstice.

The nude 7-card poker hike will start in the patio and participants will hike as a group to five colorful picnic tables located throughout the Olive Dell property. At each table, NitOC/ SCNA representatives will provide some simple finger food snacks and a poker card. Once all five picnic tables are visited, the walkers will return to the patio area and receive a final two poker cards. The highest and lowest hand will receive a prize.

There will also be a Poker Walk Trivia Quiz for all participants. At the end of the hike the answers will be tallied and the highest score will receive a prize. If there is a tie, a final round of 5-card straight poker will be dealt as a tie-breaker.

After that you can spend the afternoon enjoying the Summer Solstice sun and ODR amenities. Make sure you show your NitOC or SCNA member card at the gate for a discounted entrance fee rate.

Call Olive Dell at (909) 825-6619, for more information.

Another sunny beach event! To get our beach back it is important that we keep showing up to get the non-nudists who come to the beach to see they have nothing to fear from us, and that it is okay for us to claim the unused western end of the beach.

The Santa Barbara nudity law remains in effect. Persons removing their swimsuit do so at their own risk. Go as bare as you dare! Your decision, your choice!

Bring your own picnic supplies, chairs, bathing suits and sunscreen.

This party is scheduled for the same day as the Carpinteria Independance parade. Join us at 3:30pm in town to meet the public and prepare for the parade.

Call us at (818) 225-2273 or RSVP to scna@socalnaturist.org.

Friends of Bates Beach is invited to participate in the annual parade down Linden Avenue in the heart of Carpinteria. The parade itself begins at 5:00 pm. A few lucky members will ride our vehicle and wave to the crowd.

We are welcomed into the parade thanks to our many years of service as members of the Carpinteria Chamber of Commerce. It is a rare privilege for a nude recreation activist group.

Come enjoy the carnival and events during the day, buy your food and souvenirs using $2 bills (the official nudist currency in town,) then cheer us on as you watch the parade from the sidewalk.

Contact SCNA to RSVP early to (818) 225-2273 so we can get a head count and arrange for car pooling.
