Camp Excel is a specialized summer camp for children ages 5-17 with ADHD, Asperger’s and others with social skill challenges. At Camp Excel, the focus is on
developing social skills and the social awareness necessary for better relationships. This comprehensive program includes academics with special
education teachers to promote growth and avoid regression over the summer, therapeutic activities with master’s-level therapists to assist in making friends and keeping friends, sports with certified physical education teachers to develop skills and build self-esteem, and recreational activities just for fun! Throughout the day, staff provide encouragement and guidance in using appropriate social skills, giving children the opportunity to experience in-the-moment learning — learning that stays with them! Weekly parent groups provide parenting information and support along with complimentary childcare during groups. Camp Excel is a camp-like setting with activities that include art, cooking, nature, music, laser tag, daily swimming, boating and weekly off-site trips. Child to staff ratio is 3:1, with all-adult staff. The program, June 27 to Aug. 5, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., is located in Neptune. Transportation from central pick-up points is provided. For more information, visit www.CampExcel.com or call 732-282-0150.
