Achanged Camp

How's camp changed throughout the years? The people, the place, the whole thing?

I've been going to NBTSC for two years. This year will be my third. The first year, '98 I was at camp was the first year Taber and Radical Honesty camp to camp. I think that was a good change, since Radical Honesty has completely changed my life, definitely for the better.

Camp seems not to have any actual 'camping' anymore either. I miss that. There's something about spending nights in a tent with people that just doesn't happen in a cabin.

Camp seems to have more rules too. Or more specific rules anyway. I think it's really sad that things have happened so these need to be spelled out.

Last year second session was very relaxed. It wasn't workshop focused at all. There were a lot of workshops, but a lot of people didn't do workshops, and there was tons of time for just lying out in the sun. Or rain, as the case may be. :) That's one thing I just love about camp. There's lots of space for doing really fun stuff... and then there's lots of space for just being. I love it.

I think the community-ness of camp hasn't changed though. I know there are some people who just didn't feel accepted and that camp just wasn't a perfect place for them, I think NBTSC isn't for everyone the same way homeschooling isn't for everyone. But overall, the increadible community feeling at camp is the same. We're all so Rad!!! :)
