The Island Brothers played Reggae by the pool on Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. The pool was full of dancing people; the chairs around the pool were full. The Smoothie Bar and the Restaurant did great business. The Island Brothers will perform again in the afternoon of July 4th.
Join the fun.

Organic Fruits and Vegetables!

Sunsport's restaurant, the Garden Cafe, is now serving organic fruits and vegetables. This furthers our values of serving healthful food and protecting the environment. It is consistent with our practices of serving wild (not farm raised) salmon, eliminating deep fried foods, and greatly reducing salt in food preparation.

Sunsport's 12th Annual Naturist Family Youth Camp

will be July 13-21

_youth-pool-DSC_0831
Spaces for campers are still available. Children aged 4-17 and their families will experience a fun week of growth and community emphasizing interpersonal relations skills, learning, and creativity in a natural environment. As usual we will have a fun-filled day playing in the sand and surf at a clothing-optional ocean beach, a camp variety show, crafts, nature exploration, canuding and kayaking, non-competitive sports, producing a claymation video, campfires, and lots of pool time, with individual attention for each camper. There will be special activities best done clothesfree such as a slip-n-slide with paint, tie dye, water balloon throwing, gooey games, and a 10 foot ice cream sundae with as much landing on bodies as in mouths. Workshops on being proud of who we are, body acceptance, communication skills, and conflict resolution will help establish an atmosphere of caring about each other's feelings and positive relationships.
Parents are encouraged to attend the camp participating as much or as little as they like. Most of the favorite counselors will be returning. A gallery of camp photos, articles, and claymation videos from past years are on Sunsport's website. Enrollment forms are also on Sunsport's website.

If your child is attending, please email me at [email protected]. I need to know the names and ages of campers and any activities adult family members might like to lead. This information would be helpful to Swann who is returning this year as camp director. AANR-Florida is offering a scholarship for a camper whose parents are AANR-Florida members. Please let me now if you are interested. I want to thank the Naturist Education Foundation, the Naturist Society Foundation, and the American Association for Nude Recreation for making significant financial contributions to help support the camp.
bamboo-clumping-bamboo-crop
You may have noticed that the iconic tall bamboo trees are gone from the area near the Honeymoon Shower and the Eden Camping Area. They had died and were falling over. We resisted removing them as long as we could. There are over 100 varieties of bamboo with varying sizes and life spans. We are replacing the dead variety with a shorter and longer lived variety of bamboo. North of the honeymoon shower you will soon see beautiful bamboos with perennial flowers in front.
air_potato_plant_5x3
It is the season when invasive air potato vines are proliferating. As a reminder, Sunsport will pay 10 cents per pound for the collection of air potatoes which we will then throw out. Each air potato is capable of sending out many shoots. Look for the air potatoes on or underneath vines with heart shaped leaves.
See Tom or me to weigh your collected air potatoes.
It has come to my attention that the front gate code has been given to unauthorized people. For everyone's comfort and security, Sunsport is a gated community. Never hand out the gate code. If you are expecting a visitor, please notify the office. The office telephone (561-793-0423) is monitored 24 hours a day.

I am asking again that we all do all we can to conserve water.
Palm Beach County's bills for water usage have increased dramatically which will affect Sunsport's prices to members and visitors. Please be careful not to keep water running when you are not using it. Take short showers. It all helps.
Theresa and I start our summer travel to Naturist Society events and to visit my children and grandchildren this month. However, we will never be away from Sunsport for more than eight days at a time.
We love the Sunsport community and don't want to stay away any longer.
