Size doesn't always matter--just depends on the destination. We do try to keep group size intimates to allow travelers to have balanced interactions with everyone. Some trips can have 10-16 guests but our resort-hosted trip to hedonism can have over 100 beautiful members celebrating BNA and what we stand for.

No, the Black Naturists Association is not a swingers organization. Our focus is on promoting body positivity and natural freedom, not on sexual activities.

Our events range from local meet-ups and activities within the United States such as spa meetups/beach days, to meticulously planned international trips. Our international excursions typically include luxury accommodations, private chefs, and engaging excursions to immerse our members in local cultures.

Our trips are carefully curated experiences aimed at fostering community, embracing body positivity, and engaging in local culture. They usually include luxury homes for accommodation, private chefs for gourmet dining, and culturally immersive excursions for a comprehensive travel experience. You can expect to meet like-minded individuals who enjoy the freedom of being nude, they are everyday people like you who have professional lives but love the non-judgmental environment we create.

The best way to stay informed about our events and trips is by joining the Black Naturists Association and subscribing to our newsletter. You can also follow us on our social media platforms for regular updates.

The Black Naturists Association is an inclusive organization open to all races and body types. We believe in embracing diversity and natural freedom.

Embarking on your first naturist trip can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience. First, remember that everyone is there for the same reason - to embrace body positivity and freedom. You're not alone in your journey, and the supportive community is there to make you feel comfortable. Secondly, respect is key. Always ask for consent before touching or taking photos, and maintain appropriate eye contact. Understand that nudity is not an invitation for sexual activity. Be sure to pack essentials like sunscreen, towels (for personal hygiene when sitting), and loose clothing for when you want some coverage. Lastly, engage in the planned activities, converse with fellow members, and most importantly, be yourself. Embrace this experience as a liberating opportunity to connect with nature, your body, and the unique community around you.

The short answer is YES--however there is no pressure on BNA trips; we recommend people go at their own pace but we do require that everyone be naked.

Our trips are for everyone: Singles, couples regardless of gender/sexual orientation or race who understand and support our mission of celebrating everyBODY

Age is just a number! We have members in their 20's, all the way up to 70's. Regardless of where you fit, you can expect the same positive energy.

Currently, we do not have any specific regional chapters. However, we host events across the United States and plan international trips to foster community and engagement amongst our members.
