Create an unforgettable summer.

Day camp, reimagined.
Blending the very best of Excel’s athletic and enrichment summer programming, Excel’s Explore Day Camp is perfect for any rising PreK-5th grade camper who wants a summer packed with fun, learning, and making new friends!
Learn through doing.
With Explore Game Day camp, the sky is the limit to the fun your child will have. With our gardening and cooking programs, campers will learn about nutrition and sustainability while discovering new skills. STEM activities, art, and drama will spark curiosity and creativity! Campers will explore the outdoors, and join our Game Day friends to play sports and games with friends or splash in the pool.
At Explore Day Camp, kids learn the importance of participation, teamwork, and enthusiasm to take on new activities and challenges. Our staff ensures that every camper gains new skills and has tons of fun while trying the wide variety of summer activities!
Flexible, stackable scheduling.
Explore Day Camp fits every need and schedule. Book a full day of fun for your little one, or stack a half-day option with one of Excel’s other fun athletic or enrichment programs (Game Day is a favorite!). Plus, our new extended day option is perfect for busy families!
If you’re looking to give your child a summer of new friendships and lasting memories, look no further than Explore Day Camp. Registration opens in mid-November!

What were parents’ favorite things about Excel camps?
The terrific staff made the week fun and engaging for all of the kids.
All the different sports and different games she got to play.
The coaches, loved the daily emails of what happened each day. Loved that my son could stay for lunch after the AM program. He just finished PreK so being able to go in the cafeteria was special since he doesn’t do that in the school year. Love that 4 year olds can go. Great experience.
My kid came home tired.
My kid got to run around and was exposed to new things.
How happy my kids were everyday to go!
Kyle was amazing with the kids. My daughter was nervous every morning and every afternoon left having had a blast.
The fact that my son who is very shy jumped out of the car each morning!
The kids enjoyed swimming, games, the counselors taking time with them and the cafeteria.
Staff was great. Camper never had any complaints - always happy to go every day!
