Registration is OPEN for the 2016 GNI Gathering!
REGULAR PRICING IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11:59 pm on JULY 15!! These rates are not as low as the rates offered during the Early Bird pricing special, but they are still low in comparison to past years and will increase on July 16 as seen in the graph below.
Gay Naturists International (GNI)
is delighted to announce that registration is open for our 31st annual 2016 GNI
Gathering located in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania
(USA)! Join us August 19-28, 2016; shorter attendance options
are also available. The location is about a 1 to 1-1/2 hour drive west of
Newark NJ and 1-1/2 to 2 hours west of New York NY, and GNI provides
optional bus transportation to/from both
Newark International (EWR) and downtown Manhattan.
Hundreds of men will come together at The Gathering for up to ten
days of naked fun, camaraderie, education, and relaxation in a beautiful,
rustic but comfortable setting with a lake; olympic size pool, courts for
tennis, volleyball, and other sports; wooded trails; and rolling, manicured
grounds and more. If you've never been to a GNI event before, watch a few
video clips
from our GNI Gathering and then come back to this e-mail.
The registration fee covers housing in dormitory-style cabins (camping, RV's
and offsite-housing optional), all meals and beverages, and events, activities,
and entertainment. The Gathering is open to men aged 21 or over, regardless of
orientation.
Register for The
Gathering today to ensure your place in the fun!
Cancellation Guarantee
Sitting on the fence and not sure if you can attend? Are you

Cancellation Guarantee for just $49.

Optional donations | Naturist Action Committee
Donate to the Naturist Action Committee (NAC). These donations will
be pooled with money that is raised for NAC during the Silent Auction.
NAC defends naturists¿ rights throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Dealing actively with a number of hotspots right now, NAC is strained
financially. Please consider donating to NAC,
and bring one or more items to donate to the Silent Auction to help raise
needed funds.
Linen rentals
GNI offers an optional linen rental package for just $44 that
includes a twin fitted sheet, twin top sheet, pillow, pillowcase, blanket,
three large bath towels, and two washcloths. This is a convenient service
for those traveling a great distance. Extra items are available on
request to a staff member. If you plan to rent linens, reserve a set when
you register. That helps us with the total count of linen sets to make up
in advance to speed pickup at check-in. Otherwise, once you're at The
Gathering, you can still rent a set of linens. We'll have enough to put
together additional sets for new rentals, but not to exchange soiled
towels or bedding for clean ones.
Social Hours
Start hitting those dollar stores, discount shops, and holiday
blowout bargain events to find your bling to bring this year. If you
really have no idea what to wear to the daily Social Hours, wear nothing!
We certainly like to see totally naked men; they stand out a little more
against the background of costumes and accessories.

Gathering.
Volunteer
The Gathering is only as good as its participants make it. If
you have a special skill, area of expertise, creative flair, or just a desire
to help wherever needed, please pitch in! We are looking for new ideas,
new suggestions and new volunteers! Certain key functions come with a waiver of
some portion of fees, and all registered volunteers are eligible for one year
of free GNI membership (restrictions apply), subject to successful completion
of their assignment. Take a look
at what's needed and sign up when you register for either event.
Body Electric Workshop
GNI is once again offering the Celebrating the Body Erotic
(CBE) introductory workshop by The Body Electric School during the
Early Arrival weekend (August 19-21, 2016). We've offered CBE for the past
three Gatherings and they've been a huge success!
CBE is a great way to begin your Gathering. The CBE workshop will be held on
Early Arrival weekend, from Friday to Sunday, August 19-21, 2016.
It starts with an evening session on Friday, and continues all day Saturday and
Sunday. Workshop participants should plan to arrive at The Gathering before
dinner on Friday, August 19 with a commitment to attending the entire workshop.
It will be an experience you will never forget!
2016 Gathering Rates:
