The Antidote to Summer Stress

Quality Summer Camp Provides a Respite for Parents While Kids Learn & Have Fun

Summer isn't supposed to be stressful. The weather is gorgeous, the regular school year routine vanishes and the kids are home giving families more time together. Wait a minute, it's this last part that seems to be causing stress.

According to a recent article in the New York Post, "“Parents love spending time with their kids, but it’s totally normal to experience some stress and anxiety when planning all the fun that you’re going to have together this summer.” A study cited in fact says "Stressed-out parents want summer to end after just 13 days."
Parents are able to get their kids out of the house during the summer. And there are plenty of things to do; movies, art projects, trips to the zoo, camping, games, neighborhood playdates, a visit to the beach, etc. But what about summer camp? Even better, what about a quality summer camp where kids not only learn about science, engineering, technology or nature, but where they learn about themselves along the way.

At Camp EDMO, a STEAM and SEL camp for Pre-K- 8th graders, campers stretch their imaginations. They tackle new challenges. They discover their creative potential, the thrill of science and engineering, and the beauty of the natural world. In the process, they unleash their native curiosity and tap into new reserves of courage. They also learn that the more they practice kindness, the happier they feel. This entire experience is the product of the EDMO Method the camp has been perfecting since 2004. Your kids will love it, and they’ll learn from it.
