Ready for an epic summer adventure? The Story School presents Camp FABLE and Camp Grimoire, two magical eduLARP overnight camps nestled in the enchanting woods of Nature's Classroom in Charlton, MA. These immersive camps combine interactive storytelling, live-action quests, and a touch of nerdy fun for an unforgettable experience. With a 1:3 staff-to-camper ratio, our team of educators, counselors, game designers, and actors bring legendary tales to life, keeping campers safe, supported, and spellbound from sunrise to s'mores.
By day, campers become heroes in adventuring parties, "leveling up" their in-game and real-world skills. Inspired by history, mythology, and literature, our live-action role-playing games sneak in STEAM learning and social skills through foam sword battles, story-driven challenges, and escape room puzzles. Capes and costumes come off in the evening for bonding with campfire stories, board games, and fun all-camp activities.
The 2026 season runs July 5th -August 20th. Camp FABLE invites adventurers ages 8-17 for a two-week all-ages quest, while Camp Grimoire is tailored for teens 14-18. Camp FABLE offers a limited one-week for first-time overnight campers, and seasoned adventurers can join the Counselor-in-Training (CiT) program for up to six weeks.
We proudly serve neurodiverse, LGBTQ+, and "nerdy" campers from all backgrounds. At camp, identity is playful, education is interactive, and community is cherished helping make camp welcoming, inclusive, and supportive to all campers. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we also offer scholarships and sibling discounts to ensure every hero can join the fun.
