2021 Summer Creator Camp with Random House Children’s Books

Creator Camp General Graphic 5-10 (1).jpg

Story Pirates’ virtual Creator Camp is back this summer with sessions starting June 14th! We're partnering with Random House Children's Books to bring you a one-of-a-kind virtual camp with authors like Mary Pope Osborne, Theanne Griffith, and Chris Grabenstein! With seven weeks of camp available, your kids will have the chance to meet authors and illustrators and participate in live, interactive activities with the Story Pirates and fellow campers! Each week, campers can explore a different theme, including magic, comedy, mysteries, comics, or superheroes!

Find out all of the themes and some of the participating authors and register today! More super secret author guests will be announced soon, but space will fill up fast!


New Album: The Strawberry Band

Plus, you’ll have an opportunity to enter to win a chance to meet DJ Squirm-a-Lot on Zoom by helping us decode the Strawberry Band’s backwards message on the album!


Virtual Assemblies

The Story Pirates have been working with schools across the country since 2004. We believe that desire drives learning, so all of our programs are designed to inspire creativity; ignite students' imaginations; and make learning more accessible, engaging, and effective. Most importantly, Story Pirates make learning fun and give kids permission to get weird! Learn more about our virtual assembly options and how to apply for a free assembly if you’re a Title I or underserved school.
