Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center, Leesburg, FL

Florida StoryCamp is the premiere storytelling conference in the southeast and for the [anniversary] year storytellers and story lovers convene at the annual Florida Storytelling Association StoryCamp at Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center in Leesburg, Florida. They come to be spellbound by the stories they hear and take into their hearts. They come to be enchanted with the knowledge shared by renowned tellers and teachers. Most of all, they come to be immersed in this once-a-year opportunity to spend time with their peers and other story enthusiasts, to share their own wisdom and stories, and to form and strengthen friendships based on the mutual love of story.
You can begin your StoryCamp experience by also attending the one of our pre-camp intensive workshops and a special story concert on Wednesday. StoryCamp kicks-off Thursday with the arrival of the rest of the invited, featured tellers, registration, and a special evening concert. Friday and Saturday will afford multiple opportunities to immerse yourself in dozens of fine workshops, storyswaps, performances, and spontaneous gatherings.

StoryCamp has many faces. Whatever your background or interest—whether you are a newcomer, a novice, or an experienced teller—there’s a place for you at StoryCamp! Whatever your forte, the camaraderie and continuous flow of stories, will be just what you hope to find! CEUs for Educators are also available.

So come for the stories—Stay for the fun and fellowship!
