Welcome to Edmo! SF Presidio Heights—Need to Knows (pg. 1 of 3)

Please, fix yourself a nice cup of tea, sit back and take a few minutes read the information below carefully and calmly before the first day of camp.

Curbside Morning Drop-Off (8:45-9am) 1) Approach the BACK of the school on Clay St. (NOT the front entrance)

heading EAST on Clay St. The school will be on your right. Please do NOT double park across the street facing west and jaywalk across to the school…that’s dangerous!

2) Pull into the line of cars leading to the BACK GATE of the campus, as far ahead as possible. Please be aware that the line may stretch around the corner.

3) Please stay in your car. Your child will be met by an Edventure More staffer who will see her/him into the building.

4) Please leave the drop-off zone promptly after your child exits the car, in order to keep the line moving. Additional Notes:

• Want to talk at length with a staff person or see the start of camp? We’d love for you to come in! Please come early, find a legal parking space, and look for the sign in table and smiling staff faces!

• If you arrive late (after 9:10 AM): You must find a legal parking space to walk your child into school to sign in with the Camp Director.

• If you have AM Extended Care (Starting at 8am): Please follow the regular Morning Drop-Off Procedures.

Curbside Afternoon Pick-Up (3-3:10pm)

1) See #1 & #2 above 2) You must always sign out with a staff person at the curb or the sign-out table. 3) Of course you are also welcome to park your car legally in the school lot or

neighborhood and come into the building to pick up your child. Additional Notes:

• Campers picked up after 3:10pm: If you are not enrolled in extended care, you will be charged the “a la carte” extended care rate of $10/hour (hours are not prorated, any portion of an hour is considered a full hour). Payment is due at the time of pick up to the Camp Director. Late pick-ups after 5:30pm are charged $2/minute.

• If you are picking up during extended care hours (3:15-5:30pm), you must park your car and enter the building. Ask the Camp Director which is the designated extended care room on Monday morning.

1) HEALTH HISTORY FORM (Phone Enrollments ONLY—if you enrolled online, you have already completed this form). If you enrolled by phone, you must still go to www.campedmo.com My EdmoParent Log-In Health & Emergency Form. Online form must be filled out 7 days before your first day of camp. Campers without a completed Health Form on file cannot be admitted to camp.

2) AUTHORIZED PICK-UP LIST: Only parents/guardians or adults listed on the on your Health History & Emergency Contact form are allowed to leave the camp site with your child. You can add people to your authorized pick-up list online or in writing during your camp week. Anyone not on the authorized pick-up list will not be allowed to leave with a child until the primary contact is reached…even if it’s the mom of your child’s “bestest friend in the world.”

Want to add Kid Chow Lunch? At least 7 days before your first day, go to the “Parent Log-in” under “My Edmo” at www.campedmo.com or call 415.282.6673 to order. 1) If You Ordered Kid Chow: Lunch is in the bag! Your delicious, organic hot lunch

will be delivered to camp daily. Each lunch includes a main course and 2 sides. If you’d like to customize your lunch visit www.kidchow.com. All Kid Chow customizations must be made by the Wednesday before your first day of camp. • Remember: Snack and drinks are NOT included with Kid Chow. We

strongly recommend bringing an additional treat for morning snack and a reusable bottle of water for the day.

2) If You are Bringing Your Own Lunch: Please bring a healthy, nutritious lunch & snack to camp every day. Campers expend a lot of energy during the day.

3) “NUT-FREE” CAMPS: Unlike our morning rallies, all snack and lunch times are “NUT-FREE”. In order to ensure the safety of all our campers, all our camps sites are designated as “Nut-Free Campuses.” Please DO NOT BRING ANY NUT PRODUCTS (trail mix, peanut butter, granola bars, etc.). We apologize for any inconvenience, but our policy ensures the safety of our campers with life-threatening allergies.

Sometimes campers may be asked to bring recycled materials from home to personalize their art or science projects. Look out for reminders from your Camp Director on your daily “Give Me More” sheets.

• Sunscreen • Hat • Smock (oversized t-shirt to protect clothes during art) • Drinking Water • Change of clothes (especially for younger ones—you know why)

All Animation campers will receive one 1GB portable flash drive for the duration of the summer to save their animation projects on. Please have your camper leave the flash drives at camp until the end of the week. When your camper does bring their flash drive home, download the projects to your home computer so you have a back up of the files as well. ***There is a $35 replacement fee for any lost, missing or damaged drives.***

Welcome to Edmo! SF Presidio Heights—Need to Knows (pg. 3 of 3)

1) SMOCKS: Some of our art and science projects can lead to the temporary or permanent staining of clothes. Please bring a smock (oversized t-shirt works well) if you are concerned about your child’s clothes getting stained. Definitely don’t wear your favorite threads to camp!

2) CLOSE-TOED SHOES: In order to reduce the risk of injury, please DO NOT wear

flip flops or loose-fitting sandals to camp. Crocs or similarly styled shoes are acceptable as long as they are secure and easy to run in.

3) LAYERS: We strongly suggest dressing in layers. Mornings can sometimes be

quite brisk and your child may have Recreation as their first station of the day. 4) WEDNESDAY WATER DAYS: Weather permitting, we will play wacky water

games on the playground. We will let you know in advance when kids should bring towels and/or trunks and swimsuits for the particularly wet games. There is no swimming or pool activities at camp.

Every day campers bring home a “Give Me More” detailing what we did at camp that day, conversation starters, any upcoming events, reminders of what to bring, additional resources and other important information. Check backpacks if you don’t see one!

Look out for a Parent Survey e-mail with a link each week asking for your comments and feedback. Your feedback and comments are crucial in our efforts to secure grant funding and improve our service each year. Thank you for taking a few minutes to fill one out each week.

1) CONSISTENT BEHAVIOR ISSUES: If consistent and documented behavioral issues arise that detract from the positive experience of, and/or cause physical harm to other campers and staff, we reserve the right to excuse the child from camp without refund. 2) TOYS: Please do not bring to camp any toys, games, or valuables from home unless expressly requested by us to use for a particular camp project (such as Toy Story Animation) or you really want it to come home broken. If there’s anything we can do to make your child’s camp experience more enjoyable, please contact your Camp Director. Communication is the key to a fantastic summer camp experience!

THANK YOU AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER

MEMORABLE SUMMER WITH YOU!
