What Our Programs Offer
The Camp Excel Monmouth County summer camp program is designed to meet your child’s academic, social and emotional needs in a camp-like setting.
ClassroomChildren work on academics and behavior management with a Certified Special Education Teacher. Each child’s academic program is developed to meet individualized goals based on information provided by the child’s last teacher.
Social Skills GroupThese daily groups assist children in improving interpersonal skills and are facilitated by Master’s Level Therapists. Therapeutic activities are fun and based on themes such as Conversational Skills, Problem Solving, Cooperation, Self-Esteem Building and Anger Management. In addition to these groups, staff members continuously give encouragement and guidance in using these social skills throughout the day.
Sports SkillsThe children work with a Sports Specialist, and are given coaching and supervised practice in sports and game skills. Small groups and a 1:3 staff to child ratio, allow for individual attention and optimal success. The goal of sports skills training at Camp Excel is to teach cooperation, enhance self-esteem and self-efficacy. Good effort is encouraged and competition is not emphasized.
Arts & CraftsArts and crafts give children an opportunity to express their creativity. Art projects often have a therapeutic component such as projects that build self-esteem, express feelings or encourage cooperation.
Special ActivitiesSpecials activities can include Cooking, Laser Tag, Talent Show, and more.
SwimmingMonday through Thursday, children swim at a private pool with Certified Life Guards on duty. Staff to child ratio is 1:3 for swimming to provide for maximum supervision. Safety is the highest priority at Camp Excel. Our summer program is certified by the New Jersey Department of Health and follows all safety practices required for that certification.
Field TripsWeekly field trips can include bowling, iPlay America, Keansburg Waterpark, Liberty Science Center, Poricy Park fossil hunting, Blackbeard’s Cave, BounceU, the beach and more. Children are very well supervised during these trips, and are assigned to counselors with a 1:3 staff to child ratio.
Behavior Modification SystemCamp Excel utilizes an extensive behavioral point system to encourage and reinforce progress toward goals. Children earn points that they can spend on fun prizes in the Camp Store!
AwardsFriday is Award Day at Camp Excel. Awards are given to several campers from each group during a special assembly. The award, as well as the recognition from staff and other campers in a full round of applause, does absolute wonders for boosting self-esteem!
