> In a few days both of my daughters will be going to Grace's
NBTS Camp and I feel like this will be the start of an even more
exciting path for my daughters...

My daughter is going to NBTSC next Friday too! She has been out of
school since February. Last week would have been her first day of
high school and instead we are planning for camp. Yipee! Going to
camp is such an accomplishment for her. When I first asked her
about it she had not slept away from home in years due to anxiety.
We began treatment before she left school and she was still not sure
if she could do it. After e-mailing Grace, talking to some kids and
parents and deciding my mom and I would stay in VT while she was
there she agreed to try it. Since then she was able to stay one of
two nights at youth group camp, spent three nights with my sister
(planned for 2 then asked to stay another night)and three nights
with her god mother in another state. She is still really nervous
about going but I know she'll be ok. SHe started talking about
being eaten by a moose but I know she's worried about getting along
with the other kids. I'm not worried even a teensie bit though. I
plan on having a lovely vacation and then hearing about all her
adventures. I am hoping meeting other unschooling teens will help
her find some motivation and inspire her. SHe is still struggling
with being self directed after so many years in school. I am
struggling with being supportive without pushing her.

Tell them all to look for Cameron Lovejoy. He's been for several years
now and is ALWAYS wiling to make a new friend.

I PROMISE he'll give each one a GREAT BIG HUG! and will sit and chat
the hours away. He has a genuine interest in whatever you are
passionate about.

He's easy to spot---skinny and soft-spoken with shoulder-length brown
hair and a Shaggy (from Scooby-Doo) goatee. <g> And he'll most likely
be hugging someone!

He's already driving north (spent the night in Northern VA) to Vermont.

Thanks Kelly. I cut and pasted your reply and emailed it to Lizzy.
Hopefully she's packing : )
