There have been summer camps for kids since 1993 when the first was held in Florida sponsored by the Florida Association for Nude Recreation. Several others have been started in other parts of the country since then.
These camps are run for children aged 11-18, of families who are already nudists, so it's something the kids are familiar with and they would rather be at camp with their other nudist friends.
The camps are held on the grounds of a nudist club or resort with very strict security. The clubs are off-limits to the public and background checks are often run on members of the clubs before they are admitted.
Camp staff supervise all activities and the tents are always set up in an area separated from other club activities, with 24/7 security. Campers are required to always use the buddy system..
Counselors have come from many diverse educational and occupational backgrounds including medical personnel, teachers, police, lawyers, musicians, social workers, and many others. Many of the counselors are parents of current or past camp kids.
The camps for the 14-18 group are called Leadership Academy because they are learning strategies to become the leaders of their generation. The motto of the camp since 1995 has been "Show your Leadership". The kids also swim several times a day and enjoy canoeing, sailing, games, contests, and at least one field trip.
Kids over 18 who successfully completed the training were often appointed as junior counselors for future camps. The American Association for Nude Recreation took it one step farther and created Nude U for college-age young adults. and Youth Ambassador program for Nude U grads.
Many of the kids of this youth camp program have received college scholarships and other honors and awards.

I haven't checked lately, but many nudist (or naturist) facilities used to be family oriented. Public sexual expression was discouraged, probably more than in clothed communities. I attended an event at one of these, and I didn't even see any hugging or kissing.

I hope not. That would be opening these kids up to a world their maturity is not ready to handle.
