Through accessible, high-quality programs, we equip diverse learners to overcome systemic barriers and become curious, courageous, and kind leaders.
Our unique integration of STEAM and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) through all elements of our programs allows both kids and staff to learn about themselves as they learn about the world around them.
We envision a more connected world where all people feel confident on their journey toward self-discovery and cultivate a deep sense of responsibility.
We provide equitable access to out-of-school learning opportunities designed to help every person cultivate a sense of self, own their impact, and show up in the world with curiosity, courage, and kindness.
Our afterschool programming runs 180 days per school year, delivering a robust blend of STEAM and SEL curriculum, developed in-house by our team of expert curriculum designers and brought to life by our highly trained staff. Beyond our award-winning curriculum, we provide homework help, tutoring and health-focused activities like outdoor recreation, mindfulness, meditation, and nutritious food options.
Our after-school curriculum is designed to engage kids with fun, grade-specific themes rotate in 4-week modules during the school year and weekly in the summer. Themes like Eco Engineers, Cartoon Coders, Fairy Tale Writing, Stop Motion Stories, Dino Discovery make learning exciting and hands-on.
With a proven track record of leading comprehensive programs, we also engage with community partners to bring specialized offerings like recreation, theater and more to our programs.
EDMO’s full-day summer programs deliver up to 9 hours of enriching, hands-on learning designed to spark curiosity, build resilience and foster social-emotional growth.
Each day features two immersive STEAM sessions, empowering kids to explore science, technology, engineering, art and math through engaging, real-world challenges.
Our daily SEL-focused “Team Time” period strengthens emotional intelligence, leadership and collaboration while outdoor activities promote health and wellness.
With extended care options, dynamic camp rallies and healthy meals provided, our summer programs ensure that kids build skills that will benefit them far beyond the summer.
We create the environment we want to see in the world—a space of deep belonging where everyone feels valued, supported and heard.
We foster a community where everyone flourishes side by side. By showing up as our true selves, we create a space where trust and learning thrive.
We recognize that we are all connected and intentionally create a ripple effect of lasting, positive change.
EDMO Co-founders Eduardo Caballero and Sharon Mor meet at SCORE! Educational Centers in Santa Clarita. Sharon, a UCLA graduate, becomes Eduardo’s first boss out of college. There, Eduardo, a Cornell University graduate, shared his dream of one day opening his own summer camp with Sharon. (Fun fact: Eduardo had worked at day camps in his hometown of San Francisco ever since he was 12 years old. He thought it was the best job in the world and couldn’t think of anything he’d rather do with his life.)
Destiny called! While backpacking through South America, Eduardo got a call from Sharon asking if he wanted to start that camp he always talked about. They decided to start a nonprofit summer camp that focused on building the traits of curiosity, courage, and kindness through hands-on arts and science programs.
The first Camp Edventure More (now known as “EDMO”) opened in Mill Valley, California, with a curriculum written by staff from Bay Area museums. The camp was small, with only 60 kids over four weeks, but a huge hit with kids and parents.
The California Academy of Sciences, The Exploratorium, and the YMCA of Marin liked EDMO’s mission and agreed to help EDMO develop its curriculum design — and the first partnerships were born.
Camp Edventure More opened a second site in San Francisco, California.
EDMO ran a multitude of school year programs and 32 on-site summer camps locations in the San Francisco-Bay Area and Greater Sacramento regions of California.
EDMO turned lemons into lemonade. During this pivotal year, EDMO worked tirelessly, rebuilding the company to include virtual programs and expanding to include a multitude of new programs.
EDMO transitions 100% to partnership model with school districts and other lead educational agencies to create equitable access to high-quality enrichment programs.
