Are you ready to join the team and accept our call to adventure?
Job Summary: We are hiring energetic leaders and adventure role models to serve as summer Program Directors at several camp locations. Program Directors are responsible for enhancing programming and engaging all campers that come to Plato Learning for intense hero-training, epic adventures, and unforgettable other-worldly experiences.
What does that mean? (Job Responsibilities)
Engage the Demigods. Whether the activity is Laestrygonian Ball, or an adventure-filled Quest, Program Directors ensure campers are engaged in their activities, and that programming continues to grow to meet our demigod’s development. They encourage campers to take risks, participate, and explore their own personal limits, while celebrating the heroic strengths they already possess.
Conceptualize the Hero’s Journey. While the Camp Director organizes the camp schedule, the Program Director implements the content, brainstorming and originating how each activity flows into the next- making a week-long experience that immerses campers and staff in the adventure each week. Training modules introduce the team of Program Directors to our activity content, and together they strive to knit it all together like an Athenian tapestry.
Train Heroes to Lead. Program Directors help facilitate Counselor and CIT training, encouraging them to lead activities with confidence and come up with new ideas to keep programming fresh. Whether it is a core activity like sword training, or an elective like Potions- Counselors are inspired to be enthusiastic leaders by following your exemplary spirit.
Be the “Call to Action”. We believe the best learning comes from serious play, and the Program Director provides the Call to Action- organizing and leading larger activities, like the Olympics, or the Final Battle. Crossing the threshold to camp puts demigods in their own realm, and the Program Director guides them to become the best hero they can be through uplifting and empowering mental and physical challenges .
The Hours.

Approx 4-6 hours/week of remote professional development, training, and prep work from March-May to create the best season possible
Facilitate 40 hour In-Person Training week, the week before each program’s start date
40 hours/week in-person at your camp location (our programs run between 6-10 weeks)

What skills are we looking for?

Experience working with children K-8th in schools, after school programs or other structured capacites
Leadership Experience (or as we call it- Hero-Training) – previous programming experience a plus
Ability to work part-time mid-Feb through May/June (~4-6 hours per week), and full-time in Summer
Strong conflict resolution, communication, and problem-solving abilities
A zest for play-based growth and development
Excitement about working in an outdoor fast-paced environment in the summer
Camp experience is a bonus, though not required
Courageous Commitment; we find that Program Directors benefit from a 2 year relationship with Plato Learning (at minimum. We strive to help team members grow with the company)

Program Directors find their way to us from a variety of places, including: school teaching, after school programming, children’s theater directors, coaching, camp counseling & leadership, and college/ grad school.
