The Ponderosa

I was driving to Hamilton this week and I passed a sign on the highway, one of those blue provincial signs indicating tourist attractions, golf courses.. This sign was for the Ponderosa Family Nudist Camp. I don't get it. Why do we feel a need to advertise a nudist camp and more perplexing a FAMILY nudist camp? And what exactly is a FAMILY nudist camp and is it even legal? I decided to google it and found their rules and regulations.
1-Behavior or activities which disrupt the harmony of the camp will not be permitted. Disrupt the harmony? Everyone is naked!!!
2-Always use a towel to sit on. Is this because the chairs get hot?
3-Enjoy making friends but respect other's privacy? What privacy? Everyone is standing around naked.
4-All persons MUST be nude when using the swimming pool, hot tub or sauna. What about bathing caps?
5-Picnics only in the picnic area only. A picnic in the nude?  Are mosquitos not allowed?
6-Campfires restricted to fire rings only. Try roasting marshmallows naked, it may get hot near that crackling fire.
 They have tennis courts, volleyball, football and baseball fields. Who would ever play football naked? Who is tackling that 300 lb naked guy?
So tell me what are children doing in a place like this and how do we allow it!
                                                Ben Cartwright would not be happy!!
                                        Although the place in the picture below does look great!
