From 2010 until today we've remained steadfast in our quest to turn stories over to the imaginations of young people who infuse them with energy, power and ingenuity, reminding us all how and why we fall in love with reading.Our story began with, well, a story. Challenged by fans of The Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, we set out to create a real-world version of the fictional training ground for modern-day heroes of Greek Mythology; Camp Half-Blood. Armed with no small amount of courage we set out to create a space for the stories kids love to live rich, full lives beyond the pages of the books. Eight years and three programs later we have served nearly 3,000 children with our unique brand of reading enrichment.Plato Learning is dedicated to providing children with unique, fun, and engaging literary-based summer camps and programs. Plato Learning strives to foster a love of reading, creating a world of imagination in which the story is as important as the storyteller. Its programs are brought to life by its growing staff of program directors, camp counselors, teaching artists, and interns who bring a variety of exciting gifts—whether it be in the fine arts, music, theater, or even science and technology.WE ARE ON A QUEST… …to reinvigorate reading education. Our programs blend literacy, imaginative play and design thinking to increase reading interest and skill. Creation stories along with tales of conquest and cultural tradition provide the context for our after-school and summer camp engagements where we journey through story to help children understand themselves, our history and our world.
