NOE VALLEY — Sarah Statler

Sara Statler, a graduate from Sonoma State University with a degree in Environmental Studies and Theater, returns for her second year as a Camp Edmo Director. Last year she directed the San Anselmo location and this summer is excited to kick off the brand new Noe Valley location! Sara’s involvement in the theater community, peer mentoring groups and environmental leadership programs have propelled her passion for entertaining enrichment education. Last year Sara was one of Edventure More’s in-class guest science presenters. This year she returned to manage the program as well as head the company’s Community Outreach efforts such as auctions and community events. Before Edmo, Sara also taught after school science enrichment classes in Santa Rosa elementary schools and led youth wilderness expeditions in Montana and Wyoming! She has witnessed first-hand the magic science and experiential learning can have in a child’s life.

“It’s truly an honor to be working with you and your kids this summer. I’ve personally worked in many of your children’s classrooms as a school year science presenter and manager. I’m looking forward to really getting to know each amazing spirits behind all those smiling, laughing faces!”

After-Camp “Little Kids Rock” Program

(Only $45 more than Extended Care!)
Learn to play the acoustic guitar in just one week! All levels welcome – no experience necessary. Campers learn from an Edmo music instructor combined with podcasts by the “Little Kids Rock” founder, David Wish. Week culminates in a camper concert! The program focuses on popular music styles that most students already listen to including rock, blues, rap and hip-hop.

• Times: 3:30-5:30pm, M-F
• Cost: $125/week (Optional: keep your guitar for only $100!)
• Ages: Ent. 3rd-5th grade campers only
• Locations: SF-Noe Valley and SF-PH
• Dates: Weekly sessions between June 21st-July 16th

The nationally recognized non-profit, Little Kids Rock, has chosen to partner with Camp Edmo to pilot their newest program combining the power of podcast technology with live instruction.

Campers enrolled in this program will receive 2-hour jam lessons after camp each day from 3:30-5:30pm. The cost of instruction is less than $15/hour plus you can keep the guitar for only $100 more! That’s an incredible deal to give the lifetime gift of music.

Our Edmo music instructors are trained live by Little Kids Rock staff on how to implement these cutting-edge guitar instruction techniques. The Little Kids Rock immersion methodology of “learn by playing” is a perfect complement to the Edmo approach to teaching science, art and animation.

The Little Kids Rock philosophy is reflected in the famed Suzuki Method of violin instruction, introduced by Shinichi Suzuki in the 1950s. Suzuki believed that playing music was something that anyone could do, and, if introduced early enough, kids could learn to “speak” it like a mother tongue. Says Little Kids Rock founder Dave Wish: “Our kids learn through doing; it’s more motivational that way.”

Little Kids Rock believes that learning to play a musical instrument can be a transformative experience in students’ lives, with the power to inspire the creativity and confidence that are critical to success in school and beyond.

Little Kids Rock Honorary Board Members include Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, Slash, B.B. King, Ziggy Marley and a host of celebrated luminaries in the music industry.
