One man's experience growing up at a naturist camp

Norm and Sophie look at one man's upbringing as a naturist living at a naturist camp, and how it has informed his adult life.

Michael Ruehle recounts his childhood growing up at Sun Valley Gardens, a nudist camp his parents ran in Fenwick, Ontario, from the mid-1950s to the early 2000s. He details the camp's history, its surprising acceptance by the community, and his unique upbringing within its unconventional environment. Ruehle addresses misconceptions about the camp, particularly those portrayed in a book on Canadian nudism, and reflects on the impact this lifestyle had on his own views of social norms and acceptance.

The article discussed in this episode appeared in Pelham Today, a local news website.
