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.

Friday event for Youth 13-18
Every year we run a game on Friday for All Youth ages 13-18 and tie to it 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 on Friday, 1-5 pm.
