SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 27, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Camp EDMO<\/a>™, a leading Bay Area non-profit offering STEAM and SEL oriented After School and Summer Camp Programs, announced that it is making its Comprehensive After School Program<\/a>s, which encompass 180 days of the school year, available to Bay Area schools. The programs are customized to each school\u2019s individual needs and ideal for providing on-campus homework support, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) activities and Social Emotional Skill (SEL) building.<\/p>\n

\"Camp
\n\u201cSeveral factors set our Comprehensive After School Programs apart,\u201d said Kendra Watkins, Senior School Year Program Manager for Camp EDMO™. \u201cFirst, we are able to customize our program to each school\u2019s critical needs, whether it is making more time for homework or engaging kids in after school learning activities. Second, our program can help kids become better, more prepared students, often without even realizing it because we make it fun for them. Third, we supplement what\u2019s being taught in the classroom, easing the burden for teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Camp EDMO™ is operating a Comprehensive After School Program at Ruby Bridges Elementary<\/a> in Alameda. The program has helped ease the school\u2019s challenges of low test scores and daily disruptions that were getting in the way of student learning.<\/p>\n

Proper science education, especially at the K-8 levels, has long been an issue in the state of California. While science education in California received a state budget boost of $400 million<\/a> in the 2018-19 school year, the increase didn\u2019t factor in teacher training. As a result, it is left up to the teachers to find a way to incorporate science into their curriculum with little to no support, making it difficult for them to adhere to the Next Generation Science Standards<\/a> implemented by California in 2013. All too often, children are forced to learn science outside of the classroom, making after school programs that offer STEAM activities in a fun, relaxed environment more important than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy middle school, if children don\u2019t enjoy STEM concepts<\/a> or envision themselves<\/a> pursuing a STEAM career, the odds that they will do so decline dramatically,\u201d said Ed Caballero, Camp EDMO™\u2019s Executive Director and Co-founder. \u201cIt starts with exposing kids to STEAM activities at an early age. Our Comprehensive After School Programs offer that much-needed exposure every day of the school year.\u201d<\/p>\n
