| Frequently Asked Questions |
| What are the benefits of nude recreation? |
| Self-esteem is enhanced in the nudist world, where body acceptance is the norm. People tend to be friendlier, and shedding clothes seems to lead to shedding stress. Think of the first time you ever went skinny dipping; remember that feeling of exhilaration of water without the confinement of clothing? That's what you can experience again in the safe environment of a nudist club. |

| What should I expect at my first visit? |
| You should expect a very relaxing atmosphere where you will meet a lot of friendly people. Once you arrive at the club, park your car and come on up to the office to check in. You will fill out some paperwork and then take a tour of the grounds. If you are ready to stay, you can leave your clothes at your car or just head straight for the pool and leave their belongings at one of the lounge chairs. Carry your towel with you to sit on and remember to use your sunscreen! You will be amazed at how quickly you feel more comfortable nude than you feel clothed. Check the events calendar to see what's happening. If you are enjoying yourself too much to leave, check at the office for rental accommodations and spend the night. |

| What are the club rules? |
| Common sense and basic good behavior are the ground rules at Bell Acres. For good hygiene, carry a towel with you to sit on. Drinking is allowed in moderation, being drunk is not. Coolers and beverages of your choice are allowed at the pool, but for obvious reasons, no glass is allowed within the pool enclosure. |
