San Rafael City Schools & Camp EDMO Partner

New partnership reflects common values of Community, Equity and Joy.

Camp EDMO® coming to San Rafael for Summer 2020!

This new Camp EDMO location, at Coleman Elementary, is a unique partnership with San Rafael City Schools and Camp EDMO that reflects the two organizations common values of Community, Equity and Joy. The goal of the partnership is to make high-quality summer enrichment affordable for all families and bring our diverse community together in one program. Thanks to district support, the regular weekly camp rate for the San Rafael Camp EDMO location has been discounted for ALL Marin families and includes FREE extended care from 8am-9am and 3-6pm if needed.

Families who pay at least $305 per week help create equity by subsidizing the cost for financial aid families. San Rafael City Schools and Camp EDMO are aiming for an even balance of regular rate and financial aid campers so the camp reflects all of Marin’s residents. Financial aid applications are available only through the family liaisons at Coleman, Laurel Dell and Venetia Valley Elementary. Families who are able to pay the $305/week rate may visit the Camp EDMO website to learn more and enroll.
