Virtual ExCEL Summer Camp

Is your child ready to have some summer camp fun? We know large gatherings, including summer sports and educational camps, are likely to be restricted, so we want to make sure your child has opportunities to play, learn, and socialize! The Virtual ExCEL Camp we hosted Summer of 2020 was a major success, so much so that we wanted the fun to keep going. We’re so excited to invite your family to join us for the 2021 Virtual ExCEL Camp from mid-June through early August!

Camp Info

Each week-long camp will have a fun theme to center the activities around. From Arts and STEM, to Careers and Space, the camps are a guaranteed good time! The Virtual ExCEL Camp will include a live hour at 2:00 ET, Monday through Friday, and is free to all registrants. Our target audience will continue to be students with vision loss. Also included are five at-home extension activities for the camp theme and camp supplies that will be sent to the student. The Virtual ExCEL Camp will be separated by age groups.

We know students are not always able to attend during the scheduled hour so we’ll be recording these sessions so everyone has the opportunity to learn whenever it’s convenient for them.

Parents, please register your student for the weeks that match their needs.

Week of June 21-25: Art Camp (4-6 years old)

Week of June 29-July 2: Mystery Camp (7-10 years old)

Week of July 12-16: STEM Camp (11-13 years old)

Week of July 19-23: Career Camp (12-22 years old)

Week of July 26-30: Space Sensory Camp (pre-symbolic learners)

Week of August 3-6: STEM Spanish Camp (different ages on different days)

Reminder

We know that many educational professionals, as well as college students preparing to enter the field, have been participating in the webinars to observe teachers at work. You may continue to register for the weeks you wish to observe, but remember, please stay in the background just as if you were in a physical classroom. This camp is #FTK (for the kids!)

We hope to see many familiar names in the chat room during our Virtual ExCEL Camp. See you there!
