 In 1936 looking to expand its operation in the winter months the AGA advertised for a secretary for its new camp Mossy Oaks located in Lake Thonotossa, Tampa, Florida which was, at that time, Tampa's only nudist facility.By 1939 both locations had been approved for National American Sunbathing Association charter, Oakland, NJ.The AGA had to discontinue renting country places in Florida in 1943 because of financial difficulties due to World War II.
