Micro-conference. Learning club. Retreat. Call it what you want... Story Camp is an immersive, intimate gathering for business professionals who want to become extraordinary communicators.
For three nights and two unforgettable days in Boulder, Colorado, Story Camp will bring together ambitious humans who want to sharpen their storytelling, presenting, and influencing skills, while also reconnecting with creativity, nature, and each other!
Set at the base of the iconic Flatirons at the Chautauqua, Story Camp Boulder 2026 blends deep learning with fresh air, trail access, and the rare luxury of staying on-site in your own private cabin or lodge-style room. You’ll wake up steps from hiking trails, gather for sessions surrounded by mountain views, and end the day in conversations that stretch long after the slides are closed.
What you’ll experience
Story Camp is built around the three pillars of presenting: story, screen, and stage. Through hands-on sessions, live practice, and generous feedback, you’ll learn how to:
Craft stories that actually move people
Design visuals that clarify instead of clutter
Show up on stage (or Zoom) with confidence and presence
This isn’t passive learning. You’ll laugh. You’ll experiment. You’ll try things that feel a little uncomfortable (in the best possible way).
Not mandatory, but campers will have the opportunity to give a short presentation, in a supportive, encouraging environment designed to help you grow, not perform.
2026 Headline Speaker: Will Storr
We’re thrilled to welcome Will Storr, bestselling author of The Science of Storytelling, as our headline speaker.
Will’s work sits at the intersection of psychology, narrative, and human behavior. His sessions will fundamentally change how you think about stories—why they work, why they fail, and how to use them to influence belief, emotion, and action.
More programming to be announced throughout 2026 (so stay tuned!!)
Why Boulder? Why Chautauqua?
Chautauqua isn’t just a venue, it’s part of the experience.
Stay on-site in historic cabins or hotel-style rooms
Walk straight from sessions onto world-class trails
Learn in a setting designed for reflection, connection, and creativity
Stones throw from all the fun and flair that downtown Boulder has to offer!
Story Camp 2026 is intentionally designed to give you space: space to think, to practice, to connect, and to come home with skills you can immediately apply.
