Excelsior Splashes Into Summerswimming

It's summertime and there is no better way to celebrate summer than a day at the swimming pool. On June 7, the Excelsior Swimming Pool opened for its third session.  We are very excited and looking forward to another great summer.

Over the summer, Excelsior Girls will enjoy countless splash-tactular hours in the water. The gym classes will be out to enjoy the pool on a daily basis. In addition to casual swimming, students will have a wide range of swimming experiences during the week, including: swimming lessons, aqua aerobics, water volleyball, lane swimming and Friday fun day.

An integral component in Excelsior's clinical approach to working with our girls is the Excelsior Wellness program.  Excelsior's philosophy of providing a holistic approach to treatment includes addressing the spiritual, physical, social/emotional, mental and intellectual needs of the child.


Our girls are provided daily opportunities to exercise, participate in nutrition classes, weight management groups and other recreational activities to promote a healthy lifestyle.
