Nebraska 4‑H is excited to announce the 2026 Nebraska 4‑H Summer Camp season! Exploring Ecosystems 4-H Day Camps for youth ages 8–12 will be offered in Lincoln on Wednesday, July 22 and Grand Island on Tuesday, June 30. The day camp in Lincoln will be held at Holmes Lake, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Fee is $50.
Note: the Chadron overnight camps are full.
Youth are invited to join Nebraska 4-H and Big Gumdrop Outdoors (a nonprofit in Lincoln, Neb. dedicated to educating underserved youth about nature) to explore the world around us through our "Exploring Ecosystems" theme. Discover the wildlife and wild places that exist all around us. From insects that buzz, birds that soar and fish that flop, we will explore it all.
