Summary
The article documents a series of events that occurred in 2003 concerning nude youth camps and the subsequent backlash they faced from political figures. The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) initially faced negative publicity and defensive exchanges but with the help of a communications firm, they held a press conference and a meeting with Congressman Foley to address the concerns. The controversies around nude youth camps led to national media coverage, legislative bills, and a taping of the John Walsh Show.
