From Joves Naturistes we propose to celebrate Sant Joan at the Mas de la Balma naturist campsite (Montboló, Vallespir, Northern Catalonia – see location here), as some people in the group did last year for the first time. This year we propose to stay at the campsite from the afternoon of Friday the 21st to Monday the 24th.

La Balma is a naturist campsite located in the wooded valleys at the foot of Canigó, ideal for disconnecting and enjoying contact with the natural environment. Small mountain streams cross 62 hectares of forest where you can practice nudist hiking freely, in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility shared with people of various nationalities. You will find all the information about the campsite at https://www.labalma.fr/

On the night of the celebration (Sunday 23rd), various activities are organized from the campsite, such as a collective dinner, dances around the bonfire, and a skinny dip in the river under the moonlight.

There are only camping pitches in La Balma, so if you want to participate in our meeting, you should come with your own tent or stay in the tent of someone who brings one and has space available. We can manage this when you contact us, as well as the transport to the campsite (some of us have a license and a car with free spaces). Although our meeting lasts 4 days (3 nights), you can come for just one night or even just a day visit.

The cost will depend on the pitches we have to rent (you can check the camping rates here) and how we can share other expenses such as gas or food.

It is possible that later on we will detail a program of activities (keeping in mind the much-needed component of tranquility and disconnection).

Things to consider:

1. During the stay, we will be flexible with the planning and it will be a good time to meet people. We can also look forward to the community activities organized by Mas de la Balma, be they leisure activities, sports, meals, etc., to be part of them if we feel like it. However, each person will be able to participate in socializing and group activities as much (or as little) as they wish. At the beginning of the meeting, we will agree on the dynamics as a group and share the needs and expectations we have.
2. It will be essential to take care of the natural environment. We will reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible and avoid altering the ecosystem during the days we spend at the campsite, trying to leave no trace behind us except for smiles.

If you wish to attend the meeting, let us know through a DM on our Instagram or Twitter, or message us at joves@naturisme.cat. We will privately give you more details about the people attending, tents and cars available, and meet-up points to travel to the campsite. Let’s be in touch! If this is the first time you come to one of our meetings, it is essential that you introduce yourself properly in the message and that you have previously read our code of conduct.
