For years, demigods and mortal families have asked when there could be a sleepaway version of our camps, a place where demigods from all of our programs could fully immerse themselves in the mythological adventures of Quest, not for one day, but for a whole week. 

THE GODS HAVE ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS

Somewhere to the north of New York City there’s a hidden camp. A place of wonder and magic designed to be a home for demigods from all over. A place where heroes can take their adventure to the next level and protect the magic power at the heart of our new haven. 

Camp Mythik is a sleepaway program for demigods that will operate for 3 weeks this summer. Registration is open to rising 6th-9th grade demigods from any Plato Learning program. Our home is The Taconic Outdoor Education Center, a sanctuary for demigods, hidden from the mortal world and nestled in the beautiful wooded environment of the Hudson River Valley. The grounds of this woodland retreat center offer a main hall for dining and gathering, ample fields for demigod sports and battle training, bunking cabins, a lake with kayaks and canoes, ropes courses, an archery range, and many trails where monsters can lurk. And yes, we will be questing after dark… so don’t forget a flashlight.

Staff Spotlight

Jordana Elias, National Program Director

Jordana, a daughter of Aphrodite, learned the transformative power of overnight camp as a bookish kid yearning for adventure. Through the routine and camaraderie of sleepaway camp, she discovered her strength as a leader and community creator. Working in a range of roles at sleepaway camp, Jordana made camp life…her life! Studying History and Classics at Skidmore College and obtaining a Master’s Degree in Education, she continued to be inspired by tales of heroes and villains when she began teaching Language Arts in East Harlem. There, she used the Percy Jackson series to enhance curriculum and immersive learning. In the summer of 2021, she worked as the Camp Director for Camp Half-Blood Central Park, raising the next generation of demigods through her love of storytelling, divine misadventures, and sword-fighting.

Now, as Plato’s National Program Director, Jordana is all about establishing a place for demigods to take that next step in building their most heroic selves. Her experience taught her that the best way to find independence and life-long confidence is to dive into adventure, head and heart first. By escaping the confines of familiar roles and routine places at Camp Mythik, demigods can embrace new experiences, forge new friendships, and unleash their own confidence.
