Kissimmee, FL -- Nudist camps are reaching out to the college crowd in hopes of recruiting some new members.

According to Carolyn Hawkins of the American Association for Nude Recreation, the organization regularly sends a representative to community colleges in Florida to give presentations on the nudist lifestyle.

Hanging out in the buff can be a great stress reliever for study-worn university students, say Hawkins. In fact, her grandson -- who was raised at a nudist colony -- tells her he relishes college breaks so he can relax by the pool at his clothing-optional club.

So far, the college recruitment has been pretty successful, bringing a few new nudists into the fold -- but" au naturel" activities aren't just for college students.

Nude resorts across America are opening their doors to everyone between July 5-11 for the annual Nude Recreation Week.
