A few of the activities, projects and goals of ORCOBA:
Organizing social events at both beaches, including picnics and BBQ's.
Organizing beach clean-up parties, and other work projects in cooperation
with official agencies.
Participating in public awareness and education related to family-friendly
clothing-optional recreation at Sauvie Island and Rooster Rock.
Promoting a better understanding of laws, rights and issues related to nudism,
naturism and clothing-optional recreation.
Monitoring conditions, issues and concerns at both beaches, and notifying
appropriate agencies and organizations if necessary.
Acting as liaison between individual beach-goers, naturist organizations
and official agencies, working cooperatively toward making the
beach environment a fun and positive experience for everyone.
Promoting a safe, positive community environment on the beach.
Publishing an official newsletter.
Membership in ORCOBA is free, and participation is voluntary. You need not be a member of any particular nudist/naturist organization. If you believe, as we do, that naturism and clothing-optional recreation is a healthy, non-sexual lifestyle, and you support the preservation and promotion of clothes-free recreation on Oregon's public lands, then consider yourself a member here. Everyone is encouraged to involve themselves as actively as they wish.
An active site with plenty of information and resources for naturist recreation. Many Sauvie Island and Rooster Rock regulars are members there, making it a great place to network with other local naturists.
