Friendships and inclusive community
With our unique programming, every camper is here because they want to be here. Campers forge lifelong friendships through swordplay, storytelling, and s'more. Our inclusive community welcomes LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, and nerdy heroes of all backgrounds who return year after year to be part of our magical world.
Nestled in the woods of Nature's Classroom in Charlton MA, Camp FABLE and Camp Grimoire is the perfect place for campers to unplug. Fields, trails, and ponds balance against the "glamping" of dorms, gyms, and indoor accommodations to make the camp feel like a fantastical world while also making our nerdy campers feel safe and ready for adventure.
Celebrating uniqueness — LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, and nerdy campers welcome
The Story School gives campers the opportunity to explore whom they want to be in a safe and welcoming environment. Often times at school or in extracurricular activities, students feel the need to conform but here they are celebrated for their differences. The Story School actively creates a place where students are celebrated for being their unique and creative selves. The bonds they make with peers and their participation in a structured LARP experience builds their confidence and pushes them to reach their potential.
At The Story School our mission is to empower and transform youth through educational live-action role-playing games (eduLARPs). We believe in the extraordinary potential of every camper, and our programs, Camp FABLE and Camp Grimoire, are designed to cultivate autonomy, foster progress, and build a supportive community. We are committed to inclusivity, serving large populations of LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse campers. Our approach is grounded in the principles of story-based and curiosity-led learning, harnessing the immersive power of eduLARPs to advance STEM, mental, social, and emotional skills through the joy of imaginative and immersive play.
What The Story School is — LARP camp for ages 8–18
The Story School is a fantasy camp for young people, ages 8 - 18, located on the outskirts of Boston, MA. We aim to give our campers an inclusive, interactive, and immersive adventure. Our camp allows our participants to become their best selves through storytelling, role-playing, and teamwork. We believe there is a hero waiting to be discovered inside everyone.
Scholarships and financial aid — commitment to access
The Story School is committed to assisting as many campers as possible in their quest to experience their own adventure at our summer camps. While we sometimes receive more requests than there are scholarships available, we strive to work with parents and organizations to assist as many children as we can. Our summer camp scholarships and financial aid program is a partnership between the camper families, donating organizations, and The Story School's donor fund.
