Join us at Rising Phoenix GameCon for a weekend (and a special day) that’s not just for grown-up gamers — it’s for young imaginations, big dreams, and tomorrow’s heroes.
At Rising Phoenix, we’re more than just a tabletop and role-playing convention — we’re building a space for young gamers to explore, learn, and belong. Whether your child is new to gaming or already on their way to being a tabletop legend, we’ve got something for them.
This is our fourth year sponsoring our Fledgling Program. You can read all about that here and go here to sponsor or nominate a youth group, school gaming club, or after-school group.
In partnership with Camp FABLE and The Story School, we’re running a live-action, role-playing adventure built especially for children — inspired by classic tales and designed for fun, creativity, and collaboration.
The Story School Presents: Hook’s Revenge
A Live-Action Adventure for Ages 7–14
Captain Hook has escaped from the pages of Peter Pan and is taking over the con — and only your kids can stop him!
Featuring:
✔ Pirate training & crafts
✔ Clue-hunting across the convention

✔ Foam sword battles
✔ A final showdown with Hook!

This event is a highlight for young adventurers and storytellers. It encourages imagination, cooperation, and problem-solving — all in a safe, structured environment.
The Story School is a fantasy camp for young people, ages 8 – 18, located on the outskirts of Boston, MA. They aim to give the campers an inclusive, interactive, and immersive adventure. The camp allows participants to become their best selves through storytelling, role-playing, and teamwork. We believe there is a hero waiting to be discovered inside everyone.

Every year, we run a game on Friday for All Youth ages 13-18 and tie it to the Fledgling Groups that are with us under sponsorship. A massive multi-table, multi-GM game goes off with dozens of Youth playing and ends with a huge boss fight for all involved. These have been the highlight of many of our Fledgling groups over the years, and we anticipate they will continue to be. An amazing opportunity for youth to form friendships that could last through their lives. All Youth, ages 13-18, at the convention are invited to join in this event Friday, 1-5 pm.
