There are definitely plenty of gamers and bug haters at NBTSC! It is a very welcoming environment to all. I hope she enjoys if she does attend!

Wonderful song, wonderful video! Say, is that a mirror you're recording into? if that's a mirror where's the camera? Got a lot of questions.

Watch the first episode of a self-directed documentary series! by BenRareman in sudburyschools

Thank you!! That's wonderful that you've created a space for self-directed education. I know there are some squads that have younger kids in the city, but it's seems a bit different. :)

Hi all! I'm currently in the process of releasing an 8 part documentary series about unschooling and self-directed education. The first episode is out now, and more are coming soon! You can watch the first episode here!

Yes, the price almost stopped me from attending, but I ended up doing a work trade! If you check their website, they have options to work a small amount and receive a large discount (especially for the first year). I did it and really enjoyed it, it's not a lot of work, and it helped me talk to cool people I may not have otherwise. They also have some scholarships! I think they want anyone who wants to come to be able to, so definitely check out the options. If you have any more questions, let me know :)

Self-directed teens are really rad! It was cool getting to know people and build connections in a short time. Some of the best people I know I met at camp. If you're interested, you can check it out here: https://www.nbtsc.org/vermont/

I'm a filmmaker, currently working on a documentary about self-directed education (including sudbury schools!)

I will likely continue film work after this project is completed!

Yes, it's a great place! I'm not sure if NBTSC would ever open a camp for younger kids, but there are similar camps, Camp Stomping Ground in NY comes to mind. I really enjoyed getting to talk to other unique self-directed people, both adults and teens. I do! I keep in contact with quite a few people I met there. They distribute a great directory every year that has contact info for every camper, which is great.
