Nebraska 4‑H is excited to announce the 2026 Nebraska 4‑H Summer Camp season! Youth are invited to join us and Big Gumdrop Outdoors (a nonprofit in Lincoln, Neb. dedicated to educating underserved youth about nature) as we explore the world around us through our "Exploring Ecosystems" theme. During the 2026 Exploring Ecosystems season, campers will explore Nebraska’s natural world, discover how ecosystems connect and learn how they can help care for the environment — all while having fun at camp!
The Nebraska State 4‑H Camp is offering both day camps and overnight camp opportunities. Camp will return to Chadron for a 5-day overnight session (June 15-19) for youth ages 8–14. Day camps will be held in Grand Island (June 30) and Lincoln (July 22) for youth ages 8–12, providing a great introduction to the camp experience.
Registration is now open! More information on sessions, dates, scholarships and the link to register can be found at https://4h.unl.edu/camp.
