Learn how to turn your outdoor experiences into compelling stories that capture the people, places, and moments that make adventure memorable. Join writer, guide, and educator Cam Fenton for a three-hour workshop exploring the craft of outdoor adventure writing—from finding your story and developing your voice to creating vivid descriptions and bringing readers into the experience. Whether you’re looking to write for yourself, pitch a story, or take your outdoor writing to the next level, you’ll leave with practical tools and inspiration to tell better stories. Workshop details will be emailed out to participants closer to the event.
