Helios is located a short distance between Edmonton and Tofield, Alberta just off highway 14. A serene environment with recently renovated pool and hot tub. Helios is a landed club and as such, is situated on thirty acres of rolling land. Many members have year round campsites others simply come out for the day. There is a clubhouse in which many activities are held. These include dances, darts, potluck dinners, barbecues etc. As well there is a nature trail that is great just to get out and stretch your legs. You are always welcome to visit with others at the sunning area at the pool or just stop and chat with people at their camp site. We also have a shower house, large hot tub and a large inground heated swimming pool, along with a childrens playground, sand volleyball court and community fire pit.
First timers to nude recreation and to Helios are generally given a short orientation and guided tour of the grounds to begin their initial visit. Afterwards, visitors and guests are free to enjoy the remainder of their first day at Helios as they wish. Though the policy is officially "nude when possible, clothed when practical", body acceptance and social nudity are customary and traditional at Helios. Its members support the club as their clothes free sanctuary, and especially on a warm, sunny day, naturally assume that visitors and guests come to participate rather than to gawk.
You are allowed three visits to Helios, daily grounds fee apply. After your three allowable visits, we hope that you become a part of Helios by selecting the type of membership that best suites your needs.
