The Campfire is a live storytelling event featuring ordinary people sharing extraordinary true stories from the outdoors.
Join us September 25 2026 at the DENIZEN THEATRE in NEW PALTZ New York.
No lectures. No slide shows. Just great stories stories from the great out doors, told live.
Each evening brings together athletes and adventurers to share the moments that challenged them, changed them and maybe scared the living daylights out of them.
TELL US YOUR STORY
The best outdoor stories aren't always about reaching the summit. Sometimes they're about getting lost, changing course, meeting a stranger, facing your fears, or discovering something unexpected along the way. If the outdoors changed you—even for a moment—we'd love to hear your story
Every submission is carefully reviewed. If your story feels like a good fit for an upcoming Campfire event, we'll reach out to learn more and work with you to develop it for the stage.
Because we're a small team, we're unable to respond individually to every submission. Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us. We can't wait to read it.
