Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can my child attend the Camp Excel Summer Program for just one or two weeks?A: Camp Excel is a therapeutic program in nature and it is our experience that many of our campers often need a week or two simply to adjust to the transition. Some children are just beginning to make connections with peers after one or two weeks. They need the additional time to develop those relationships and practice the social skills they have learned at the program. We feel that the full 6 weeks ensures the optimal benefit from the program. However, we do offer 4 week and 5 week options as well as an August Session.
- How is transportation arranged?A: Camp Excel Summer Program
Transportation is provided from central pick-up points. The fee for transportation is included in the tuition. We make every effort to accommodate our families’ transportation needs. Children are transported in 15 passenger vans, 7 passenger vans or automobiles. All drivers have a Commercial Driver’s License and undergo fingerprinting and background checks. In addition to the driver, each vehicle has at least one aide. Both drivers and aides are Camp Counselors.Camp Excel Saturday Program- Transportation is not available for the Camp Excel Saturday Program. - Are there any funding options available to assist with the cost for the Camp Excel program?A: There may be some limited funding options available depending on the child and the family’s particular circumstances.
