Unplug and PLAY
Camp Excel serves elementary and middle school students with age-appropriate programming that inspires learning, teamwork and responsibility. Campers participate in character-building activities, literacy instruction, sports and daily swim lessons that build confidence, skills and lifelong healthy habits.
Supported by the Annual Campaign, Camp Excel is offered at no cost to families and is for children who are currently enrolled in Y Learning and their siblings.
If your child is not currently part of Y Learning, they are not eligible for Camp Excel. However, we’d love to help you explore other day camps and programs, including options with financial assistance. Click here or contact branch Welcome Center staff.
