Lunch
Kids must bring their own lunch to camp every day…unless you order a Kid Chow lunch during our enrollment process! We have once again partnered with Kid Chow, the Bay Area’s premier kids’ organic lunch caterer, to offer you a vacation from packing lunch. It’s a snap to sign-up. Just click/check the Kid Chow Lunch option when filling out your Camp Edmo online/paper enrollment form.
Snack & Drinks
Everyone must bring snacks and drinks to camp, even Kid Chow families. We strongly recommend packing an eco-friendly water bottle and at least 1 healthy snack every day. If you are enrolled in PM extended care, pack 2 snacks. If you don’t have earth-conscious water bottle, please consider purchasing an enlightened Edmo steel water bottle at checkout—100% of the proceeds go to our Give Camp to Kids Fund.
NUT FREE CAMPS
Unlike our morning rallies, we maintain a strict NO NUTS policy at camp. Please DO NOT bring any tree nut products in your lunch or snacks. Some campers have severe life-threatening allergies to nut products and we prefer to keep them happy and alive. Please do not bring any products that contain: cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, pine nuts, walnuts or heaven forbid, the “’Mother of All Nut Allergies”—the peanut. (Please be especially mindful with trail mix, granola bars and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches).

What is in my child’s Kid Chow Lunch?
Each lunch comes with an entrée and 2 sides. Kid Chow’s Standard Hot Lunch menu, which automatically comes with your lunch sign up, includes a mix of our most popular items: burritos, pastas, quesadillas, mac & cheese, hamburgers and more. If your child has dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten/dairy free) or needs more variety and personalization, feel free to order Custom lunches at our website online at no extra charge. Sides include juicy organic fruits (peaches, strawberries grapes) or veggies (carrots, steamed edamame, red peppers) and a selection of healthy chips, treats, cheese sticks and yogurt tubes. No drink is provided. Campers can refill their camp water bottles at lunch.
How does my child get their lunch?
Lunches are served semi-family style. At lunch time your child will receive an individualized lunch entrée and a choice of two sides. Your child will select their two lunch sides at lunch time. We deliver big bowls of individually wrapped (and cleaned) organic fruits or veggies and a selection of healthy chips, treats, cheese sticks and yogurt tubes. Camp Edmo staff oversees the lunch handout process.
How much does lunch cost?
Lunch is $30.00 for the camp week. Lunch is only offered for the entire week of camp.

Yes, we want your child to be satisfied with their lunch. Simply email the change to chow@kidchow.com as soon as possible to so we can accommodate that request for your child.
Can I register for lunches later if I want to add additional weeks?
