For Summer 2021, EDMO will be offering on-Site Camps for kids age 4 to those entering 5th Grade with select locations serving 6th-8th Graders.

Please send your kid to camp each day with the following items: 

• For tech-themed camps: Their device for the program (see theme page for details)
• Lunch and snack (no nuts, please!)
• Face mask/face covering
• Reusable water bottle 
• Sunscreen
• Hat/sunglasses (for sun protection)
• Backpack/bag to take home projects or carry their device
• Change of clothes
• Optional: a book, puzzle, or another independent game for kids to play during lunch or free play time

• We do not allow weapons, drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other banned substances at camp. We also do not allow animals at camp except in the case of service animals. We have strict safety guidelines and also do not allow any unattended scooters, bikes or skateboards.
• If your kid rides a scooter, bike or skateboard to camp, we will ask them to store their scooter, bike or skateboard in a designated area and it must remain there for the duration of camp. 
• We ask that your kid keep any electronic devices in their bag throughout the duration of camp unless it is being used for a technology theme at camp. Devices include but are not limited to cell phones, tablets, laptops and chromebooks.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 regulations dictating cohort size, we will be unable to hold a Leader-in-Training program this summer. Check back in January 2022 for an update on the Leader-in-Training program.

Due to COVID-19 safety concerns, EDMO will not be offering a lunch option for purchase in summer 2021. Kids will need to bring their own NUT-FREE lunch and snacks to all in-person programs.

Due to local and state COVID-19 requirements, EDMO will not be offering the standard version of Extended Care this summer. Instead, we will be including a “flex pick-up time” at every on-site camp location.

This means that although the camp day is over at 2:30pm (for PK-K kids) and 3:00pm (for 1st-5th grade kids), kids can be picked up anytime within a 2 hour window of camp ending. Your kid(s) will remain with the same staff members during this flex pick-up window and there is no extra charge!

Due to COVID-19 regulations, and for the safety of our staff and kids at camp, we will not be able to host meet & greets or camp tours. You will get to meet and chat with the staff working with your kid during dropoff and pickup each day.

‍

Anyone who will be picking up your kid from camp will need to be on their Pickup Authorization list that you complete during the registration process. If you would like to add someone to your kid’s Pickup Authorization list after registering, please see the above section on how to update your account information. Or email us at info@campedmo.org. Anyone picking up a child will need to provide a photo ID every day to confirm they are authorized to pick up your kid.

‍

If your kid gets an unfortunate bump, scrape, or skinned knee, you will receive a note about the incident at pickup. In the event of any head injury or serious bodily injury, you or your emergency contacts will receive a call within 15 minutes of the injury, and a full written Incident Report will be provided to you within 48 hours.

‍

We will work with you to develop an action plan to help support your kid at camp, including coming to agreements of behavior. Unfortunately, if your kid repeatedly detracts from the camp experience of other children and staff, or compromises the safety of others, we may ask you to pick your kid up from camp.

‍

In order to ensure the safety of all the kids in our camps, all of our camp sites are designated nut-free. Please DO NOT BRING ANY NUT PRODUCTS (trail mix, peanut butter, granola bars, Nutella, etc.). We apologize for any inconvenience, but this policy ensures the safety of our kids at camp with life-threatening allergies. Each day at check-in, our staff will ask if there are any nuts in your kid’s lunch or snack. If there are, you will be asked to take the food items with you and return with a non-nut option for your kid to eat.

‍

Please bring any medication your kid needs to take during the day on the first day of camp and make sure it is clearly labeled with their name and a picture of them. When you arrive at camp, you will be asked to place the clearly labeled medication in a designated storage container. An EDMO staff member will administer the medication as prescribed.

‍

During registration, you will fill out a health information section to outline all allergies so your kid’s camp leader is aware of any allergies before the start of camp. Please bring any medication your kid needs for allergies on the first day of camp and make sure it is clearly labeled with their name and a picture of them. When you arrive at camp, you will be asked to place the clearly labeled medication in a designated storage container. At EDMO, we have a very strict NO NUTS policy and we do everything in our power to keep kids safe from common allergens, but please make sure your kid is very aware of their allergies and remind them to never share food.

‍

You can include a note for staff about your kid during the registration process. Simply put any information you would like them to know in the “Other Requests” section and they will get the information.

‍

Technology needs for on-site camps will vary by program. Kids who are not participating in a technology-based program will not need to bring any technology to camp. For kids attending technology-based on-site camps, you will find the list of all technology needed to participate in camp activities listed on the specific theme page and in your confirmation email.

‍

Each day at check-in, before the person dropping off your kid leaves, our EDMO staff member will run through a checklist to make sure each kid has everything they need for camp. If it is discovered that your kid has forgotten their device or charger, we will ask that the person dropping off your kid returns home to get the required supplies and bring them back to camp.

‍

If our EDMO staff is unable to log into your kid’s device or if parental controls block access to the internet or downloads, we will reach out by phone for your support. The best option is to make sure you disable all parental controls or passwords for connecting to wifi before camp.

‍

If your kid’s device runs into crashing issues during camp, our EDMO staff will have alternate activities they can work on while the issue is fixed.
