Presented by Bare Oaks and Naked Club, Bodyfest is a naturist and nudist weekend that offers a rich tapestry of activities and workshops designed to nurture the body, mind, and spirit. Over the course of three days and two nights, participants are invited to explore, stretch, relax, learn, laugh, meditate, and evolve in a beautiful outdoor, clothes-free environment. This event promises a rediscovery of what it means to be human, set against the serene backdrop of Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park, located just north of Toronto.
At Bodyfest, participants will immerse themselves in nature and their own true nature through a variety of outdoor workshops and activities led by inspiring teachers. The range of activities includes yoga, body movement, aura charging, life drawing, balancing, juggling, gymnastics, energy awakening, comedy, body art, improv classes, talent shows, drama performances, clay modeling, dance parties, and photography workshops. Whether you are a seasoned naturist or new to the experience, Bodyfest welcomes everyone with an open mind and heart.
The Flow of the Weekend
The event kicks off on Friday with check-in and campsite setup, followed by an evening gathering where participants can introduce themselves, enjoy music, and socialize. This relaxed evening sets the tone for the days ahead, providing an opportunity to explore the grounds and take a refreshing swim in the lake. It is recommended to get a good night’s sleep to fully enjoy the activities of the following day.
Saturday begins with a gentle warm-up session on the front lawn, preparing participants for a day filled with diverse and engaging events. From morning till evening, a series of classes and activities will take place every hour, each lasting 45 minutes. This dynamic schedule allows attendees to sample a wide range of creative experiences, making the most of everything Bare Oaks has to offer. The day culminates with performances and a lively dance party, creating a festive and communal atmosphere.
Sunday features a more relaxed pace with fewer but longer events and activities, concluding in the late afternoon. This structure ensures that participants have ample time to unwind and absorb the enriching experiences of the weekend.
