Our History

Eduardo and Sharon

Eduardo & Sharon meet in 1999

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.)

EDMO was founded in 2004

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.

Summer of 2004

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.

Partnerships were formed.

Fall of 2004

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.

Our Model

We provide high-quality, year-round, out-of-classroom programming. We use a multi-layered approach to learning so that kids can gain hard skills (like STEAM and foreign languages) while practicing soft skills (SEL) through The EDMO Method.

We employ well-trained staff members who are passionate about the EDMO mission and educate by example. We partner with school districts, organizations, and local communities to provide equitable access to out-of-school learning for kids across the socio-economic spectrum.

By holistically educating kids, we connect them to the impact their learning and actions have on the world around them.
