The NCGM is inclusive however it is desirable to have a reasonable proportion of each type of participant among the following categories: couple, family and single person. When the ratio of the number of men to the number of women exceeds 1.8 for 1, the NCGM reserves the right to place applicants on a waiting list.

Naturism

Please understand that despite our best efforts, many people have in mind a false idea of what naturism stands for. Therefore, it is the policy of the NCGM to perform pre-screening before you become a member. The only exception to this rule is to be a member of another naturist club or naturist center recognized by the NCGM or the FCN. In addition, you must attend three events, including an interview with the ethics committee members and a naturist activity, before your membership is finalized.

Naturism should be a pleasant experience for all. The NCGM expects all its members and guests to behave with dignity and respect at events. Sexual harassment is not tolerated and can result in expulsion, revocation of membership and even legal action.

What you should know

The following documents define the rights and obligations of the members of the NCGM and set out the standard of conduct expected of the members of the NCGM and their guests at the events of the NCGM. All members of the NCGM should familiarize themselves with the contents of these documents. New members should review the first two documents, in particular, before attending their first naturist activity.
