Our fellowship, gathered together
Our Story
Where we've come from
NAC Fellowship grew out of a small online community into a movement of Christian naturist retreats now spanning the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom — all rooted in the same conviction: that we're free to live unashamed before God, exactly as He made us.

NAC Fellowship grew organically from the Naked As Created (NAC) online community that gathered on MeWe. In 2020, that online fellowship gave birth to its first in-person gathering—a couples retreat in Florida—followed later that year by an impromptu gathering of several families at Oak Lake Trails in Oklahoma. What began as a small community of believers discovering the freedom of living unashamed before God soon became an annual rhythm of Christian naturist retreats, family fellowship, worship, teaching, prayer, recreation, and deep friendship.
The gatherings continued to grow and develop. Oak Lake Trails welcomed the community again in 2021, followed by a landmark 2022 meeting at Star Ranch in Texas, where approximately 50 NAC participants gathered for a week of worship, teaching, healing, family fellowship, and recreation. In 2023, the gathering moved to Cypress Cove in Florida and included baptisms, a vow renewal, and a wedding. Star Ranch hosted again in 2024, as a broader group began sharing responsibility for the gatherings. By 2025 and 2026, more than 80 Christian naturists from across the United States, Canada, and even the United Kingdom were gathering together. Throughout these years, men's retreats have brought together both seasoned Christian naturists and men who are newer to naturism and the NAC community from across the country. The larger community has also remained connected year-round through online fellowship, prayer, encouragement, testimony, and friendship.
Today, NAC Fellowship is becoming a shared-leadership movement with a growing vision beyond annual family or men's retreats. We believe God is calling us toward a permanent, Christ-centered place where Christian naturism can be lived out throughout the year—a welcoming, family-friendly community centered on faith, hospitality, recreation, and authentic fellowship. Our hope is to steward such a place for generations, creating a visible expression of the Kingdom of God where people can experience freedom from shame, deeper community, and the goodness of God's original design.
