TOUR
WE’LL GUIDE YOU
Come be adventurous and walk our many miles of trails, play a sport, socialize with new friends, or simply sit and relax. In this aerial view, notice the large pond with a long sandy beach area and our spacious solar-heated swimming pool. For the more active visitor, we have pickleball courts, volleyball, shuffleboard, and a horse-shoes pit. Solair sits on 360 acres of woods that are crisscrossed with miles of trails – perfect for leisurely strollers, seasoned hikers, bird watchers, wildflower enthusiasts, and anyone who would be thrilled to spot a wild turkey or deer.
HEATED OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL
Our 60’ x 30’ solar-heated swimming pool is maintained at a comfortably warm temperature all summer. The expansive pool deck and shade structure gives us room for poolside dances and a chance to get out of the sun.
PAVILION
Much of our summer fun takes place in our covered outdoor pavilion. Dances nearly every weekend with live bands or top DJ’s, theme dinners, weekly Saturday afternoon socials, and Sunday Sundaes are all held here – plus crafts, kids’ activities, tie-dying, and other events. The roll-up sides ensure that a rainy day does not ruin your fun!
COMMUNITY CENTER
Our Community Center features a great room and decks for gatherings and lounging. The earth-friendly unisex bathroom produces no black water, with a renovated unisex shower area, sauna, and hot tub. The Delish Bistro and game room are on its lower level.
HOT TUB
Located by the pool with views of our camp on three sides, the 10-person indoor hot tub is where we relax with friends or loosen muscles that may be tired from the week’s grind or your vigorous walk or pickleball game at Solair.
SAUNA
Located next to the community center showers our sauna is waiting to help take the chill out of the air on those days you wish it was just a little bit warmer.
POND
Our serene pond is large enough for a long, aerobic swim and compact enough to cross. Swim out to our sunning and diving platform or wade with your kids along the shoreline. Paddle boats and boards, canoes, a rowboat, and kayaks are there for all to share. Children 13 and under must wear life preservers while on watercraft and other floating devices.
BEACH AREA
Sunbathe, read, or nap and enjoy a sunny day clothing-free! Several canopies provide shade if you prefer it, and a firepit is there for shared use.
PICKLEBALL / TENNIS COURTS
Solair loves its games! We have tennis and six pickleball courts. All players are welcome. Pickleball is easy to pick up and fun for all. Give it a try! Please bring shoes with white, non-marking soles for the courts.
VOLLEYBALL COURT
Come play or cheer on the players. All levels, including kids, are welcome. Our volleyball players have brought home the gold from AANR tournaments year after year.
SHUFFLEBOARD
Discover our two shuffleboard courts located in shaded areas. The annual tournaments bring out a crowd!
Accessibility
Lower level parking with paved access to the community center and pavilion. There is also an elevator in the community center as well as parking on the upper level by the pool.
CAMP STORE
Solair’s store is located in the office and carries a thorough selection of necessities. It is well-stocked with common over-the-counter medicines, snacks and sodas, water, and non-perishable meal items — plus insect repellent, sunscreen, toiletries, and paper products. Forgot your sandals? No problem — we carry those as well as towels, t-shirts, sarongs, and hats.
TRAILS
Solair is one of AANR’s most spacious nudist resorts, with 360 acres on our property. Because most of this acreage is deliberately conserved, it includes many miles of trails marked out for the hiking enthusiast as well as the casual walker. Discover long, winding trails both hilly and flat. Mountain bikes and ATVs are welcome. Our natural surrounds are home to many different species of birds, insects, and animals as well as a magnificent array of wildflowers and vegetation. The waterfall area is a perfect meditation spot.
KIDS’ PLACE AND ACTIVITIES
We value the next generation of nudists and work to nurture them in a safe atmosphere where they learn that nudism is natural and fun. Kids can gather to enjoy the many toys at the pool and pond, the playground area on the beach, ping-pong table, and volleyball. Special activities have included coin and duck dunks, the annual fishing derby, tie-dying, crafts, and much more.
MEDIA CENTER AND GAME ROOM
The game room offers pool, ping-pong tables, a bumper pool table, foosball and electronic darts. Free Wi-Fi, and 2 Hi-Def widescreen TV’s are for everyone to enjoy.
ARENT PAVILION
Newly renovated! The Arent Pavilion houses our free library, which offers fiction for all tastes – from thriller to romance to classic. Borrow a book and return it when you’re done, no sign-out needed. Our special nature library offers news about local wildlife and plants and the opportunity to trade information on sightings.
FITNESS CENTER
Located in the Arent Pavilion, this useful resource offers several exercise stations including universal, total gyms, squat rack, and more. You’ll find dumbbells ranging from two to thirty pounds, Olympic and standard barbells with weight plates, and an area for floor work.
After working out, clean up at the sun shower located outside on the lower deck.
ARCHERY AND RIFLE RANGE
The Laurel Gun Club maintains a 100 yard shooting range and an archery lane for use by its members. Solair Members and Associates may join LGC after completing a firearm knowledge and safety vetting process.
