Moving forward, we are shifting from a transactional relationship with schools, to a transformational one. The choice and shift we have to make moving forward is difficult, but also very clear. The state of California has become a huge catalyst for equity in the out-of-school time space. Thanks to this funding, and other donations, almost 80% of campers attended EDMO completely free last summer. Programs can be offered to all students but they must provide access to high-priority students first. ELO-P mandates that public school districts and charter schools provide their most vulnerable students with enriching, 9-hour per day programs for 180 school days and 30 “intersession” days during school breaks or summer. ![]() Last year, California announced historic funding for the Expanding Learning Opportunity Programs, or ELO-P a $4 billion investment in summer and after-school learning programs. We have implemented paradigm shifts like our honor system pricing aimed at dismantling systemic inequities and oppressive structures that keep families from experiencing the magic of camp. Over the last three years we have taken time to reflect on how our programs, culture and impact align with our mission of providing equitable access to out-of-school learning experiences for kids. When we started EDMO 18 years ago, our goal was to ensure that all kids had access to high-quality out-of-school learning opportunities.
