I think you should let her go. Nudity is a natural thing, she is going to be exposed to it one way or another so why not in that type of atmosphere. Plus, if her friends family go there a lot then their child has been around it and I think that it's acceptable. There are a lot of children that grow up with nudity as a part of their life, so it's not so bad. I mean because there at least you know pretty sure your daughter is safe. Plus, if you know her friends parents and are comfortable with them, I don't see a problem with it. Just explain to your daughter before hand what she might be exposed to and to stay close to her friends family. She'll be alright and if anything go yourself, so that way if your daughter has any questions your there to answer them right away.

Can you find out why she doesn't want to go? If she's been there before and was perfectly willing to sign up to go again, then something must have come up that changed her mind. At 11, things like getting their period or someone making a remark about their body or not having the right kind of underwear might be enough to embarrass them into wanting to stay home. Could she have had a fight with a friend or heard some gossip that upset her? Are they making changes in the camp routine this year? Does her friend have any idea why she would do this? Find out her concerns and try to encourage her to work through them and go to camp. Tell her that if it's really horrible, she can come home. Once she's there, everything will probably be just fine, and she'll be proud of herself for facing her fears and not giving up. On the other hand, if it's obvious that she just can't make herself do it, don't force her. The decision should be hers.

A definite NO. The friends Mum and Dad should not even have made it possible for her to go. I would be quite suspicious of them. They just might be OK but you never know who the other "campers" are. If there are child porn people in our midst in general then you can bet that there are plenty about in nudist camps. What better place for them to get more photos. I might be tempted to mention this to the police as it does sound a bit dodgy.

no of course not! listen to me, I am 13 years old. i have NEVER ever in my life seen a nude person. Do you think an 11 year old can? An 11 year old is encountering many things in this age and learning about different stuff and getting interested in the opposite sex, etc. It wouldn't be right for her to see nudists. It would have a really bad impact on her. Do NOT let her go. Everyone is telling you not too, but if you don't trust their opinions, at least trust mine because i'm practicaly the same age as your daughter and know what 11 year olds go through.

Nudist camps are fine, no matter how old you are. There is nothing wrong with freeing your body in the appropriate place. But naked beauty contests are just perverted. Definately do not let her do that.

Obviously you have some doubts about letting her go, otherwise you wouldn't have posted your question here. It's your child and you can make the decisions, but I personally would never let her go to a nudist camp at that age. And much less to a nude beauty contest. You don't know who will be there. For all you know, it might be some paedophile meeting. Don't make a decision that can put her into danger, don't let her go.

Beauty contests, clothed or not, focus on a level of superficiality that NOBODY should introduce their children to...
As a remark to nudism....I've been a nudist for 13 years and I can honestly say that nudism does not promote superficiality and therefore you should question the validity of any resort that has an event like a beauty contest.....
Don't let her go....

Simple answer is no.
You go with her to a nudist came to check it out before clothes come off and being "judged" by body.
I have never heard of a naked beauty contest as I had friends of all ages attending nudest camps all around the states. That is a red flag.
You are the parent. Get your "best judgment" in gear.

She should be ok if a PROPER camp but really she should leave it till a teenager over mid teens ie over 16/17 to be able to deal with it all.
Additional
Whilst Frog above has a fair point another poster suggested you go with her. That way can make sure its all safe and stuff.
Certainly not entering beauty contests certainly not nude ones at that age (11) clothed or not clothed.
Then can be mid teen plus having fun winding up boys in 'American Pie/Porkies ' years.
Most likey the hippy parents are fine but you may get either single smart *** guys going in to check out the girls... not so much of a problem as they would not want to see children... in fact would be put off.
But equally what are the camps security arrangements to keep out peados if there are children around.?
Tell the parents you think they are fine but given the age of the child would prefer waiting till she is on mid to late teens and a little worried about the camps security to keep out 'undesirables'
