Not Back To School Camp is a summer camp founded in 1996 by Grace Llewellyn, the author of The Teenage Liberation Handbook.
NBTSC attracts teens from all over the U.S., Canada, and other countries. It offers campers support in perusing varied avenues of education by connecting them with a pool of about 100 other unschoolers and an eclectic staff. In the camp brochure, Llewellyn states her reason for the camp as creating a place where homeschoolers and unschoolers can "change selves and the world, teach each other great things, and sing under the moon....."
The camp is active for four, week-long sessions each fall: two sessions are in Plymouth, Vermont at the Farm and Wilderness Camps, and two are outside of Bridge, Oregon at Camp Myrtlewood.
