Big Red Camps are residential career exploration camps held at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. During the week‑long camps, participants will work with our university faculty to explore the topic of their particular camp, like animation, data science or climatology. They are an opportunity to develop new skills, prepare for college, explore career paths and make lasting connections. The camps are held on Sunday, June 8 through Friday, June 13.
High school seniors and incoming UNL freshmen in the 2025‑26 academic year are welcome.
