Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is your club associated with any major organizations?

A: Sunbirds is an official member club of the American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) and the AANR-Southwest Region. We follow the ethics, principles, and non-discrimination membership policies of these organizations. In fact, we received an award from the AANR-Southwest Region for having the best AANR membership growth. We are proud of our 2014 recognition, and continue to promote AANR membership within our club.

Q: What types of people join Sunbirds?

We accept people for who they are, as they are. Sunbirds come from all types of backgrounds and professions, and we embrace folks of all races, shapes, sizes, religions, sexual orientations, and ages - 21 and up.

• Consider yourself overweight? No worries! You’ll feel right at home. Nudist clubs are a reflection of society at large, with people of all shapes and sizes. 
• Worried about race? We value all races, and the diversity you bring!
• Think you are too old or too young? While you do need to be at least 21 years of age, you're never too old!
• Couple? Absolutely. Couples are encouraged to apply for membership.
• Single woman? Absolutely. We encourage you to apply for membership. AANR has a lot of great resources for women interested in social nudism.
• Single man? We accept single men, but we work to maintain a level of gender balance. This means that not all single men who apply will be offered membership or invitations to events.
• Married or in a committed relationship, but your significant other is not interested? We are not currently accepting members that are in a committed relationship where both parties are not interested in joining.

Q: Does your club have a Code of Conduct?

A: Yes, like many nudist clubs around the country, our club follows a Code of Conduct. It outlines our club policies and reminds all of our guests and members what they can do to keep the club safe, private, and fun for everyone's benefit.

All of us want a club that everyone can enjoy, and we know that our fellow Sunbirds follow the same common-sense policies of respect and discretion that we expect from all nudists.

Our members’ privacy is a top concern. To protect the security of our club, all guests and members are required to read and abide by the Sunbirds Code of Conduct that outlines the expected behavior of all Sunbirds members and guests.

Q: How much does it cost to join Sunbirds?

A: Currently, membership is $30 per individual and $60 per couple.  You may also join the American Association of Nude Recreation for $64 per individual or $113 per couple. If you are a couple, and only one of you wants to join AANR, then the individual AANR rate applies. Note that you will not be charged until the following occurs:

• We screen you to see if you are a good fit for the Sunbirds, and if you think the Sunbirds are a good fit for you.
• We invite you to Sunbirds events, and you attend at least two. This allows us to meet with you to decide if we like you, and so you can see if you like us. It does not take much for us to like you!
• The board of directors votes on your membership, at which time we will either send you an invoice for payment if you are accepted, or we will send you notification of non-acceptance (the good news is that this seldom happens). 

Q: Do you accept singles as members?

A: Yes. However, like many nudist clubs, we reserve the right to limit the number of single members to balance the male/female ratio. 

Q: Can I bring children or pets to Sunbirds events?

A: Sunbirds is an adults-only nudist club for those over 21 years of age. 

You may not bring pets to a Sunbirds event unless the party invitation specifically invites pets to attend. If you have a service animal, please let us know. We work to accommodate them whenever possible.

Q: How do you apply to join the Sunbirds?

A: While membership is not guaranteed, we invite everyone who is interested to follow our online application process. 

Q: I will be traveling to town in the near future. May I visit your club?

A: No. Sunbirds events are limited to members who are local residents and who regularly participate. For those who are simply visiting the DFW area, we recommend visiting the landed clubs in the area that allow non-members to visit.
