Don’t miss our 25th annual extravaganza for unschoolers, homeschoolers, & self-directed learners ages 13-18.
Sadly, due to the pandemic our regular sessions in Oregon and Vermont have been canceled for 2020.
We’re excited to run our first-ever Virtual NBTSC adventure, August 15-19, 2020. Details and registration info below. (And save the dates for Oregon and Vermont in 2021!)



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 alumnus 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.
