CAMPIn the so-called
'dry season' of November-May, the air usually feels a little dryer and therefore cooler than in the
green season. After the first rains in June, you can witness the fluorescence of nature to lush surroundings.
Many people prefer the green season that is typically sunny with cooling showers every few evenings or days. It’s a good season to visit Zipolite for a week or more to experience the variation.

Inclusion
CAMP, and Zipolite, is a
setting for persons of any identity and expression.
Committed to creating and maintaining respect for diversity, dignity, inclusion, and equality;
we reserve the right to assess and manage circumstances and situations in the best interest of our vision
towards sustaining safe(r) spaces.
safe(r)Nudity
Adult nudity is common on the beach, anywhere in CAMP, and only requested in the pool and sanarium. If your cycle or gender expression might mean keeping your bottoms on, please do whatever suits your needs. When nude, please sit on your towel.
Differentiating nudity and sexuality
An absence of sexual pressure is fundamental to the clothing optional experience.
and common
sense define a clear difference between
and sexual behavior. An ethic
of confining sexuality to consenting adults in private helps defuse erotic tension, as does a
policy. Coercive conduct is rare and grounds for . Gawkers may be asked to leave and not return.
Besides being personally liberating, experiencing social nudity is
humanising and equalising. Without clothing's adjectives, people tend to accept one another as the special,
sometimes fragile being each truly is. Mutual vulnerability promotes mutual respect, honesty, and trust.
Civilised behaviour and open communications seem only natural within such a disarming context.

• Guests have lessened cause for apprehension that they will become objects of unwelcome pursuit just because they are nude.
• CAMP shares parents' concern for the inviolability of children.
• Guests who fear embarrassing arousal upon disrobing almost universally discover no basis for their worry.

sanarium is less hot than a sauna, usually 40-50°C and also uses humidity, around 50%. It’s a cross between

better for the skin.Sanarium

Happenings
CAMP curates classes, workshops, performances, and experiences—many with English translation. Most happenings
end before 22:00 (10:00pm). For schedule and more information, see
HAPPENINGS
and contact the promoter directly, check the familiaCAMP Telegram group chat, or speak
to a resident manager.
La Sala
To help with the challenge of shared sleeping spaces, an air conditioned and sound-tight private room for couples to use has comfy tatami mattresses and stocked with a supply of safe(r) sex items, and clean sheets. Please respect the space by keeping it tidy and sanitary. If you use sheets dispose of them in the laundry niche outside the room. Do not nap or overnight in La Sala—yes, it is comfortable, but doing so prevents others from accessing it.
