The Story School is a non-profit educational LARP — eduLARP — overnight summer camp in Charlton, Massachusetts for heroes ages 8–17, where real STEAM lessons become magical abilities and every camper saves the day.
Part summer camp, part epic adventure: campers become characters in an unfolding fantasy world, and everything they learn helps them win the day. It's built on three promises.
Every camper belongs — fully welcoming of LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse heroes, no exceptions.
No one sits on the sidelines. Campers make the choices that shape the story every single day.
Costumes, quests, monsters and magic — a living world campers step fully inside.
Here's the magic: campers complete real STEAM lessons to earn strength points and unlock their character's abilities — then use them to outwit monsters and save the realm. Tap a subject to see the power it unlocks.
Brew potions and decode the natural world — real chemistry and biology become a hero's alchemy.
Every hero starts somewhere. Choose the camp that fits your camper's age and appetite for the epic — both share the same immersive world and the same welcoming community.
The full eduLARP experience — STEAM, story and heroics for new and returning heroes.
A tougher, teen-focused quest for heroes ready for a greater challenge.
The Story School was built to be a place where every kid can be their fullest, bravest self. Campers of every background, identity and neurotype are not just accepted here — they're celebrated, and they belong.

Deeper quests, new abilities and old friends waiting.
