Today was a rest day. And I truly think the day embodies rest energy.   I was awoken at around 9 am by the sound of soft flute music. I slowly started my morning walk to the lodge to make lattes for for some campers I had promised the previous night, lol. My breakfast consisted […]

I have always been a super social person so this camp is really something I can excel at. I’ve talked to a lot of people, met a bunch of really cool individuals and I’m loving it. really really loving it. so today i woke up, took a shower, and missed the first 30 minutes of […]

On day 2, I woke up in the field. This made rather a lot of sense, since I went to sleep in the field on day 1. It is still always a bit magical to open your eyes and only see sky, however, and I took advantage of the fact that the light from said […]

Waking up on the first full day of camp is always exciting. What’s ahead? How did Arrival Day go? Those two things are bound together whether one is a Camper of a Staffer. As the Driver and a member of the logistics team, Arrival Day is very busy, and how it played out can obviously […]

The day started quietly for me . The sounds of a light breeze and cows lowing filled the camp. This area is just begging for you to take a nap in the sun. I had gotten to the camp a couple days early to help setup. The realization that around 100 campers would fill the […]

I woke up this morning around 8:30am in my cozy spot in the staff tent “cul de sac” to the sound of the resident Myrtlewood site staff dog Baloo telling a story in woofs. I much prefer a nice canine alarm clock to my digital one!   9:30am was breakfast, which included a killer bowl […]

Waking on Grace’s back porch, sunlight tap dancing on eyelids Off to the coffeeshop I go, taking care of personal business Also to read my sacred staff handbook The guide to […]

Written by J. (staff/driver) Departure Day is a busy and emotional day. Everyone is packed and occupied with the logistics of Camp’s end. Some of us are ready to be home and some of us are not. Some of us are ready one minute and not the next. But Departure Day is inevitable and this […]

Written by Renee (camper) “You’re both on the same page. Now turn it.” Sometimes life throws difficult stuff at you. Day 12 helped us all realize that the only solution to your problems is to talk through them. I had a nice lunch (soup and cornbread!!!) and afterward J hosted a small tea tasting on […]

Written by Raven (camper)   I’ve been coming to NBTSC for four years and one event that I’ve always looked forward to was prom. I, personally, do attend high school, so I have actually been to a prom before. From my experience, I enjoyed the NBTSC proms so much more than any other high school […]
