All rights reserved. ExCL Counselors all seem to appreciate each child individually and make them feel special. Camp activities are wonderful but it is the counselors and their attitudes that will keep us coming back. Day Camp Parent Experience in Community Leadership, Ages 14-16 ExCL prepares teens to make a difference in their schools and communities. We interweave camp activities like hiking, animal care , archery and art with opportunities to clarify values and discover options for self-expression within your community.
Teens receive coaching from experienced leaders to turn their visions into reality.
They gain experience in communication, problem solving, community service and small group leadership in a warm, supportive camp environment. ExCL doesn't end when the summer does. We encourage every participant to take the visions and values they explored here back into their communities when the summer ends via a project. We periodically meet with graduates to share successes and challenges. We support each other, using the strength we gain at Hidden Villa to make a difference around us.
