Have you ever found yourself with a story so wild that people say "No way, that really happened?" Well, we want to hear it! Join us for Let Me Tell Ya! Story Swap - One with Nature, where we'll gather virtually to share tales of our most memorable outdoor adventures.
When Nature Calls, Stories Follow
There's something magical about being in nature that seems to create the most unforgettable stories. Whether it's that time you got lost on a hiking trail and discovered a hidden waterfall, the camping trip where everything that could go wrong did go wrong (but somehow became the best trip ever), or the moment you came face-to-face with wildlife and lived to tell the tale – we want to hear it all!
Our upcoming Story Swap is dedicated to celebrating those wild, wonderful, and sometimes wacky moments we experience when we step outside our comfort zones and into the great outdoors. With typically 10-12 storytellers participating, you'll be part of an intimate group sharing incredible adventures.
What to Expect

Share your most thrilling outdoor adventures with 10-12 fellow storytellers

Whether your story involves mountains or beaches, forests or deserts, backyard camping or international expeditions – all outdoor adventures are welcome! Each participant will have their moment to shine with a 5-7 minute story, and we'll move seamlessly from one adventure to the next.

Story Swap Guidelines
Storytelling Time: Each story should be approximately 5-7 minutes long – giving you enough time to really paint the picture and share the full adventure while keeping your audience engaged.
Family-Friendly Content: Please ensure all stories are appropriate for all ages, as we welcome storytellers and listeners of various backgrounds in our community.
All Skill Levels Welcome: Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or this is your first time sharing a story publicly, our Story Swap creates a warm, supportive environment for everyone.
Come Prepared: Think about your story ahead of time. What made this outdoor experience memorable? What emotions did you feel? What details will help paint the picture for your listeners?
Story Inspiration
Need help choosing which outdoor adventure to share? Consider these questions:
What's the most beautiful natural place you've ever visited?
When did you feel most challenged by nature?
What's your funniest camping or hiking story?
Have you ever had an unexpected encounter with wildlife?
What outdoor experience changed your perspective?
When did nature surprise you the most?
What's your most peaceful outdoor memory?
Why Story Swaps Matter
In our increasingly digital world, there's something profoundly powerful about gathering (even virtually) to share our real experiences with one another. Stories connect us, inspire us, and remind us of our shared humanity. When we share our outdoor adventures, we not only preserve these precious memories but also inspire others to create their own nature stories.
Plus, there's nothing quite like the energy of a good story swap – the laughter, the gasps of amazement, the knowing nods of fellow adventurers who've been there too.
What You'll Need
A reliable internet connection
We recommend testing your Zoom connection beforehand to ensure smooth participation
Your favorite outdoor adventure story ready to share
An open mind and heart for the stories you'll hear
Maybe a cup of your favorite beverage to sip while you listen

The mountains are calling, the forest is whispering, and the ocean waves are beckoning – but first, your stories are calling to be shared! Whether your outdoor adventures involve conquering peaks or simply finding peace in your local park, we believe every nature story deserves to be heard.
