Last year was great, but I’m ready to make this year better than ever! I wish that every day was a camp day and I cannot wait for this summer to start! My favorite thing about camp is that every day is different. I’m excited to watch the campers learn new things, while getting to experience new things myself! I hope everyone is ready for some fun!!”

Our child is excited to talk about each day at camp with us. She said that this is the best camp she has ever gone to and cannot wait until her sister can go too.”
Camp Edmo was my children’s first camp experience. They really loved playing the different camp games and would often spend dinner time explaining game rules to us. They had fun at camp. Thank you!”
This week, my daughter is extremely exciting about making a movie. She has shared her excitement about Camp Edmo with her neighborhood friends and wants to return next year as well. We thank you for providing this wonderful camp experience for her this summer. She has developed more confidence in herself and her artistic abilities. She gained more knowledge in science which is one of her favorites subject in school.”
