  2010 StoryCamp Brochure (498.7 KiB)

From all over Florida and as far away as Maine and Hawaii, storytellers and story enthusiasts gather each year at the Florida Storytelling association’s annual StoryCamp. We are spellbound by the stories that we hear and take to our hearts. We are enchanted by the shared knowledge of local and nationally recognized tellers and teachers. Perhaps most of all, we are mesmerized by this once-a-year chance to spend time with our fellow tellers and enthusiasts, to share our own wisdom, to form and strengthen friendships based on a mutual love of story.

Begin your experience by adding the precamp intensive workshop and concert starting Wednesday night or start Thursday night with the first of four fine story concerts featuring our invited tellers. Then Friday and Saturday immerse yourself in dozens of fine workshops during the day and every night sit back and be filled by stories. even our youth get a chance to spread their wings and share a tale or two.

Whether a newcomer or an experienced teller, whatever your background, at StoryCamp you will find workshops tailored to your interests, with CeUs available for educators. Concerts, story swaps, music jams, camaraderie and stories, stories, stories—you’ll find that StoryCamp is magical!
