This was my daughter Frances’ 2nd year participating in Edmo’s world. Last year we did 1 week. This year we did 3. It was by far the highlight of her June and July! …San Francisco camp parent, 2010

Last night, Kate showed us the experiment from yesterday’s camp using milk, food coloring and dish soap.

I really love that she was so excited to share her new knowledge with all of us.” …Michelle Morgano, 2011 Noe/Twin Peaks Parent

My daughter came home wildly excited about her projects…from making soda, art and camp songs. to making new friends. Thank you so much for making her experience one she’ll remember for a lifetime!”… Cheryl Morand, 2011 Larkspur Parent

LOVE that my daughters had so much fun while learning about science and technology and graphics. I really enjoyed the take home sheets to learn more about the Camp Edmo day. …Elizabeth Seirmarco, 2010

If Edmo in the Park was offered all summer, we would choose Edmo in the Park…Our daughter (age 7) loved the field trips, the time outdoors, and the room to roam.”…Christine Witherspoon, 2011 Edmo in the Park Parent

I want to thank you for giving my granddaughter a wonderful camp experience this past summer, and for the scholarship that made it possible. She just loved her time at Camp Edmo. I was impressed with the responsiveness of the staff, with the attentiveness to kids’ safety, with the wonderful creativity at each session. Camp Edmo nurtures children’s inquisitiveness and creativity, and it’s all done with such wonderful enthusiasm.”…Mary Goodell, 2011 Oakland Grandmother

This is our third year at Edmo.  Every year I think Edmo cannot get any better, but each year Izaiah grows, learns and becomes more confident. He feels so valued and supported by the excellent staff at Camp Edmo, he is willing to step out of his comfort zone and do something unexpected…Thank you for making my child feel emotionally safe at camp so he can be his true self.”…Charity Pitcher-Cooper, 2011 Noe/Twin Peaks Parent

If Camp Edmo had a school, I would sign my kid up.  Speaking as a Teacher, you guys seem to dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s in a truly amazing way, doing everything right and to a consistent high standard that is VERY difficult to achieve amongst all of the moving parts you have to deal with… thank you!”… Katie de Vries, 2011 Alameda Parent

These camp counselors were AMAZING!!  My daughter felt very safe (it was her first camp) and I was warmly welcomed and helped at each and every drop off and pick up!  Their smiles, enthusiasm and general “goodness” was something a mother couldn’t ask for more of…they all were so WONDERFUL!!!”…Cheryl Morand, 2011 Larkspur Parent

I love the Edmo Vibe game, and the focus on making friends and being kind!  It is a great idea, and an important addition that many camps don’t pay attention to.” …Beth Katz, 2011 Larkspur Parent

My daughter loved Camp Edmo last year which is why we signed her up again this year.  I knew she had at least 1 friend attending with her, but I was very happy and relieved to hear that she had made a new friend on her very 1st day.  I don’t know if it’s the camp format, activities, staff or a combo of everything, but Edmo is very conducive to having fun and making friends in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere.  Love the art projects that come home and hearing about the on-going projects and science experiments!”…Melanie Dunn, 2011 Moraga Parent
