The ExCEL + Program will "Kick-Off" with the 2024 Spring Sports Camp!
This camp will focus on the sports of Basketball, Volleyball, and Soccer.
Students will have the opportunity to work with specialized coaches and staff to experience each sport in a variety of fun and engaging ways throughout the day. Each rotation will allow students to learn and practice the skills and concepts for that sport as well as experience playing in a game-like setting!
We hope to see you at ExCEL for our very first ExCEL + Sports Camp!
