Updates from Camp

Hello! This is Scarlett (they/them) and this is my first year at NBTSC!    I woke up from a deep slumber in a “bird pile” in Frida’s. Bird pile meaning we all sleep on top of each other because Vermont nights are cold. Frida’s (if you’ve yet to read other blog posts) is a communal […]

Wow it was cold last night, it was lovely. Hi my name’s Avery, it’s my 5th session here at nbtsc. Today I woke up a bit late to the sound of a chipmunk rustling through one of my bunkmates bags, he must have a snack or something stashed… Oh no! I realized there was only […]

I am writing this blog a bit late in true Jane fashion. I swear I tried to remember to write it on time. Today was a very very busy day. I woke up a bit late, as it’s late day. I didn’t want to get out of my warm bed. We slept in the communal […]

Hello my name is Oona and this is my blog post. I made it in collaboration with Zoe W and Emery.     This reminds me of Syrus Elliot its the creek that is near the cabins.     This on the other hand, does not, in fact, remind me of my beloved, Syrus Elliot. […]

Today is the second day l’ve been here this year, and I’m starting to get into it again.The weather is chillier than last year, which can be cold but is also invigorating. Running across the field in the wind and gray is one of the best feelings.   It’s a weird experience being here during […]

It’s day .5 of camp. Staff training. The time where us on staff get to cry without the campers seeing. I see people and it’s like no time has passed, it almost feels silly trying to catch up because I swear I just saw them a few days ago (some of the staff I did […]

Departure Day is a whirlwind of emotion, joy, tears, and activity. For those of us who have to drive or function safely on Departure Day morning, getting a good amount of sleep is important but seems in hindsight to leave little time for those last goodbyes. Even those campers who choose to stay up all […]
