Jumpstart your life with high hopes, new interests, a loud splash, and a circle of new friends!
Don’t miss our 26th annual extravaganza for unschoolers, homeschoolers, & self-directed learners ages 13-18.
Due to the pandemic, we can’t be sure yet whether our 2021 sessions in Oregon or Vermont will run. There are several major factors still in play — such as how soon youth will have access to vaccines. If we’re able to go ahead, we expect to open registration in May rather than February this year. We’ll post updates on our Covid page starting around the end of January. Meanwhile we are crossing all our fingers and toes, and wishing you abundant health and joy.

Not Back to Camp Camp!

2021?
everywhere
Stay tuned ~ we’re discussing the possibility of a 2021 virtual NBTSC.


Our Mission
Not Back to School Camp aspires to create a sanctuary
- that affirms, inspires, and mentors unschoolers…
- where campers and staff transform spiritually, emotionally, physically, creatively, intellectually…
- where profound friendships begin and grow…
- and where adventure, mystery, music, wild spontaneous fun, and magic prevail.

NBTSC alum Allen Ellis created a beautiful film about us. It’s not new, but it still feels like NBTSC and we still love it enough to post it right up front.
