~ FAQ's ~

Why would I want to go somewhere, where there are other people, and take my clothes off?

At one point of your life you must have enjoyed a private place where you spent some time, either nude, or topfree, and where you felt the sensations of the sun's warmth and the tickle of a gentle breeze on your skin. Call it "Nature's Massage" if you will! Perhaps you've even gone skinnydipping! How about going nude in a hot tub with family or friends? Wouldn't you like to experience that again, on a regular basis? We can provide that, in a safe, secure atmosphere, away from the hot concrete, pollution, and nosy neighbors! We are located on Mount Fromme, just below Grouse Mountain... moments away from the Second Narrows Bridge, in picturesque North Vancouver, BC!

Well..that sounds interesting but it is not for me..maybe if I lost 20.lbs..or so..?

Nudism is not a competition or a trial, nor an ordeal! It is all about acceptance! Acceptance of you for who you are, with no expectations placed upon you! And it is also about your acceptance of others, in a like manner. It is a non-judgmental forum, where people just get together to be themselves, in a relaxed atmosphere. You may not believe it, but nudism is the only place in the world where you will find no body issues!

O.K! This is starting to sound like something I might try...but who are the members?

The members come from all walks of life and are everyday people just like you. Our youngest member is just 4 years old and our oldest member may admit to being 'somewhat' more than seventy. If you think that you may like to join the club but are leery of being a known nudist...just remember that other members will know about you only what you may wish to tell them! All information you provide to the club is used only for club purposes and is not divulged to anyone. Your privacy is well respected! Go at your own pace.

That's encouraging! Now, I'm not promising anything, but...lets say I wanted to see this place...what can I expect on my first visit?

You can make an appointment to view the grounds with no obligation. Weekends are usually the best time. Remember the other members have day time jobs just like you. (Call the club line at 604-980-2400 or email info@vantan.cato arrange a visit.) From there, arrangements will be made for someone to meet you at the gate, which is located at a mountain access road at the top end of Mountain Highway in North Vancouver. (All members have their own key for this gate.) The club grounds are located about two kilometers further up this road, made clear by a red gate and signs. From there, you drive onto the Club property. At this time the person who met you at the gate will take you on a tour of the grounds and provide you with information pamphlets. Now, you will have the option to spend some time enjoying the grounds. Plan to make a day of it, as most new visitors don't want to leave, even at sunset! We have a very relaxed atmosphere, so feel free to find an area for privacy, or socialize at your own pace! Of course, you may leave at any time. Just inform a member when you wish to leave, and someone will go down the road with you and unlock the gate.

(*You will receive your own key upon becoming a member, have access seven days a week, and even camp overnight when you wish!)

Van Tan is a "Rustic Club." As such, there is no electricity or R.V. hook-ups. However, there is ample parking, and the upper-lawn is a designated camping area.
