CAMP EDMO

Such a great place for my science/​tech-​loving son!
I originally chose this camp because of the location (at the Dianne Feinstein Elementary School) but right before my son started camp we found out the Sunset location was moving (because of construction at the elementary school) and was then going to be near Stonestown at the St. Stephen School (completely in the opposite direction from where I needed to be for work). I was kinda annoyed when I found out because at that point it was too late for me to un-​enroll him and put him into a more conveniently located camp as all other camps were already full. But my husband and I sucked it up and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our son! The topics are all awesome and he loves to be a maker and a techy kid; what a serendipitous find because all the topics are right up his ally. They spark interest in him. He has been so creative and innovative. He is excited about going to camp every morning and never wants to be late. I don’t have to drag him out of bed or away from the TV; he get’s up and get’s ready on his own, then patiently waits for me to drop him off in the mornings. He has already asked to go back next year. It’s very odd, and not that he’s had a hard time with making friends or being independent in the past, but he seems so much more confident and happy lately. His camp counselors (like Jessica and Electra) have been wonderful, as are the rest of the staff! They made him feel super special for his birthday and it was more attention that I would have expected for a 7 YO kid (considering there are so many other kids there, too). I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE curbside the drop off situation — the drop offs occur in a HUGE parking lot so there’s no need to double park or any of that nonsense. I pull right in front where his counselors are waiting for him (really, though, it’s the back of the school), my kid gets out of the car and off he goes as he gets escorted to the classrooms. I don’t have to worry about him getting hit by a car or anything. He is safe, happy and has made a lot of friends.
The best part so far is that now he tells me he wants to go to MIT because the word «technology» is in the name of the school.
Will I send him next year? Hell yeah! So long as he’s still interested, I’ll be happy to pay for it

Our son attended Edmo Camp at DiFi Elementary. He was entering K grade in the fall 2014, so he was the youngest one. He liked the camp a lot. Director and camp counselors were very enthusiastic and friendly, very engaging. They tried to make every kid feel very welcome and greeted each child by name. Very save location. Also, the office of Camp Edmo was always helpful and responsive with any question.

My son absolutely loved Edmo’s animation camp at DiFi Elementary. We initially signed up for just two weeks, but he loved it so much we ended up doing it for four weeks. The staff is sensational. They all knew my son’s name within the first couple of days, which made him feel very welcome. We’ll be back again this summer!

My two oldest boys — 7 & 5 had a blast with Camp Edmo’s enthusiastic community of staff and fellow campers. They do a great job balancing fun with creative educational themes such as animation, art, and science. It’s also pretty evident that they make sure every kid feels welcomed and included especially on that very first day. We felt very comfortable dropping off our kids with the convenient valet drop off and pick up system offered. Oh and they sent us a daily newsletter with a summary of what went on at camp that day! What!?! Really? Thank you!
This weekend– It’s been non-​stop, «When can we do Camp Edmo again?»
Definitely will be back for more next summer!

My kids are still talking about how much fun they had at camp edmo sunset. They were there for a week, did the incredible edible, they love sharing with me everyday on all their exciting stories and projects. Staff are nice, very attentive and caring. I highly recommend this camp to all of you.
