My name is Julie Szeto, Director of the EdgeCamp. I have been working with kids from preschool to college-age students for more than 20 years. My passion is to connect with people and share Christ's love to people of all ages and backgrounds. Interacting with kids and young adults, and making a difference in their lives bring me immense joy. Starting from the age of 17, I was given the opportunity to learn and serve at a summer program as one of the leaders. From then on, the passion of working with kids has grown within me. I received my BA degree in Director of Christian Education (DCE) specializing in Youth and Family at Concordia University, Irvine CA. This has enabled me to serve as the Summer Program Director at Hope Lutheran Church, Daly City CA, True Light Lutheran Church, Manhattan New York, and Our Savior Lutheran Church (OSL), Fremont CA.
In Fremont I founded OSL Summer Camp and was licensed by the state of California to run summer programs from its starting point. We went from nothing to a roomful of joyful kids. With eagerness, OSL ran for 9 fun and unforgettable years. My team and I were awarded as the BEST Summer Camp in Fremont for the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014. Upon God's new calling for my husband to pastor at Zion in San Francisco, my family and I departed OSL Summer Camp in 2015.
My family and I have been active members of Zion Lutheran Church for more than 8 years. Since the summer of 2016, I have been the Director of The EdgeCamp and I promise to exert the same level of energy and dedication. With my brilliant and passionate leadership team, the EdgeCamp guarantees a phenomenal summer for your camper(s). We continue to have a BLAST each year. Countless parents have described it as, "a creative and balanced program!" The kids adore that we have curated a fun summer camp. Take a glance at our general schedule to learn more about our 4 BIGs. It is our promise to you that many NEW and UNIQUE activities will continually be explored here at the EdgeCamp 2024! Thank you in advance for entrusting your precious one(s) to our care.
Feel free to let us know how we can better serve you and your family.
