Brooklyn, United States Plato Learning Full time $19

Operations Coordinator at Outdoor Adventure and Mythology-Based Summer Camp

Title: Operations Coordinator

Employment Status: Exempt/Seasonal

Company Summary:

Plato Learning operates outdoor mythology-based day camps for kids ages 7-15. We create a world where monsters, myth, and magic transport kids out of the mortal realm into one where they are empowered to develop new skills, take risks, solve problems, and ultimately become Heroes. With seventeen locations spanning from NYC to California, Plato Learning uses actors, live-action role-play, and physically and mentally engaging activities to bring myths to life.

Daring Girls: Adventures in Mythology is our all-female program where girls become their own heroes. Daring Girls explore nature, build confidence, and discover powerful historical women, and mythological goddesses. From the outside, Daring Girls are tumbling, sword-fighting, and building strange contraptions with wire and tubes (you know, girl stuff). But on the inside, our young women are learning to take risks, fail with grace, and never give up.

Discover the heroine within. We dare you to join us
