A vision for our future home
A Christ-centered family naturist resort
A place of our own for camps, retreats, worship, and rest, where families can live unashamed before God, exactly as He made us, all year long. Outdoor pool, hot tub, nature trails, RV and tent sites, and room for the whole family.
Why Eden Ridge
What if we didn't have to leave?
For six years, NAC Fellowship has gathered on ground that belonged to someone else: campgrounds and resorts that opened their gates to us a week at a time. We're grateful for every one of them. But we keep driving home with the same ache.
Eden Ridge is the name for the place we're praying toward: land of our own, set apart for Christian naturists and their families. We want to share the camps and retreats that have shaped this fellowship, yet be open through the year, rather than a week at a time.
“And they were both naked... and were not ashamed.”
Genesis 2:25
The Vision
A walk through Eden Ridge
Here's what we're dreaming of: places to gather, to stay, and to play.
These sketches are artist's concepts of what Eden Ridge could become, not photographs of an existing property. Just as we are made in God's Image, what our imaginations conceive, together we can build.
Arrive
A gate, a clubhouse, and a place to come home to
Turn in at the gate and the week slows down. A timeless, yet modern clubhouse greets you at the heart of the grounds, with a dining hall for shared meals, a fellowship area for gathering and comfortable seating for reading or long conversations. Just outside, you find a playground where the children can see their parents and the parents can see them.
Worship
An outdoor chapel and campfire circle
Benches curved around a fire, a simple timber roof over the stage, and the woods for walls. Morning worship, evening events, and campfires that run late. Sharing God's creation is part of how we meet the One who made it.
Stay
Room for every family
Yurts and cabins along the creek
Simple, comfortable lodging for families who don't bring a camper, each with a deck and a fire ring by the water.
RV sites and tent camping
Full-hookup RV sites with room for awnings and lawn chairs, shaded tent sites for those who like to sleep close to the ground, and big trees for afternoon shade.
A bathhouse with hot showers
Clean, bright, and built from timber and stone, with a skylight overhead and luxurious showers that clean and refresh.
Play
The ordinary joy of being a body in God's world
An outdoor pool for the whole family
A shallow edge where little ones can splash beside a parent, lanes for swimmers, a net strung across for water volleyball, and shade sails for when you need a break from the sun.
Hot tub and sauna
Warm water and a sauna under the trees, for tired muscles and great conversations.
Nature trails through the woods
Quiet hiking trails for prayer walks, morning hikes, birdwatching, and family picnics.
Bike trails and pickleball courts
Trails to ride, and pickleball courts for friendly competition between sessions.
Horseback trail rides
Horseback rides along the ridge, with the lake below and the whole day ahead.

Who It's For
Camps, retreats, and a home in between
Imagine Eden Ridge becoming a reality. Imagine bringing your spouse, children, grandchildren and friends to a place you could call home away from home.

A home for our annual family retreat, and room for new family camps with space for every age.
Men's and women's retreats
Weekends of teaching, prayer, and honest conversation, for those new to Christian naturism and those who've walked it for years.
Couples' getaways
NAC Fellowship's Family Retreats began with a couple's retreat. Now we can come full circle to provide space for unhurried time for husbands and wives to rest and reconnect.
365/24/7 Self-Care
Open beyond retreat weeks to families, friends, and anyone who needs a few days of being fully known.
What's Next?
Eden Ridge is in our hearts. We believe God has linked us together for a purpose greater than ourselves. Our leadership team is scouting locations, praying, planning, and watching for the door God opens. We are raising seed capital now so that when the right property opens, we will be ready to harvest.
How To Get Involved
Let's build toward Eden Ridge
We are raising $250,000 in seed capital for a downpayment. Your tax-deductible donation is greatly appreciated. This vision is going to require all of us to give sacrificially and every day, we get another step closer.
Your gift to NAC Fellowship's general fund supports the life of the fellowship today, including our retreats and gatherings, and the work toward Eden Ridge.
