I would have group of friends year round, that were from schoold or neighbors. Rural Florida was especially tolerant of naked boys at one time as just part of summer uniform. After school you had option to shed clothes until 6pm dinner often.

In our group boys under 10 or so would play outside naked and was the norm. If one of the houses had pool or went to nearby beach you stayed naked all day as norm. A few boys never wore much unless going into town. Despitew what others right girls wore baggy tshirt and would take them off at pool too.

Most nudity was reserved for summer camps though.

Tell us about nudity at summer camps.
Are you talking about boys' camps or coed camps?
I imagine boys were nude for swimming;
did they stay nude the whole day?

Although there are many accounts of boys regularly swimming naked at camp, even in front of female counsellors who were often HS or college age girls, I do not recall anyone ever mentioning that girls swam nude at summer camps.

Also several accounts of girl counselors supervising boys regularly during daily showers at camp, mostly till age 12.

It was more sports camp oriented. We would do calethenics, swim and hang out naked foir free time in AM. Afternoon was more team sports, with shorts and tshirt.Some boys would go to car naked in afternoon in summer though, or just eat lunch. Yes, we did have some female coaches, and some sisters jopined us but not as wild as it sounds today.

Till what age were you boys naked at camp and doing outdoor sports and other activities naked?

Were all the boys comfortable with being naked in front of girls and female coaches?

I once led a Christian camp for boys in Donegal and on the last afternoon I allowed the boys to take part in activities nude. I think it really gave them a chance to stop worrying about themselves because it was a real leveller.

How old were the boys?

It was not unusual for HS and college girl volunteers to be in charge of younger boys till age 12 in church summer camps.
They would also supervise the boys during showers.
Some of these camps also had nude swimming for boys under the supervision of these female counsellors.

Our town pool and recreation area was very relaxed about boys playing naked in summer. They had summer camps in day and boys often swam naked in kids pool nude all summer. During summer campo rules shifted that bys could swim nude all summer. Everyone knew what boys looked like so was just part of summer. Things changed so much.

You would have enjoyed being a counselor here. Male counselors joined boys, and once or twice a week we went to a lake for free play and no sports.

After team sports, some boys, usually younger nes played naked too. It was actuallly helpful when older and wanting to date, you felt less shy about it all.

It is a hard to beleive a bunch of little other things happened I idnt mention as sound silly today.
