Camp Excel is a summer day camp subsidized by donations to the YMCA's Annual Campaign. Campers participate in character-development activities, literacy instruction, sports and swim lessons. Each day, children receive a snack and a nutritious meal. Camp Excel is offered to elementary and middle school students. Each location also may offer a Kindergarten Readiness Program, Sports Camp and a CILT program for grades 9 and 10.
Thanks to community collaborations, Camp Excel is offered at locations throughout the Triangle.
