Husker Kids Camp

2ND T O 6T H GRADES
A recreational day camp that provides a supportive and enjoyable environment where learning and fun go hand-in-hand. Camp activities are very similar to those found in a physical education class. Special attention is paid to the age and skill level of each camper– youth are assigned to groups according to their grade level. We encourage participation in all activities and spend the majority of time outdoors. FIELD TRIPS - A field trip is planned for each week. THEME DAYS - Campers participate in one special event activity each week. CRAFTS - Each session includes a make-and-take age-appropriate craft. SWIMMING - Specific swim activities will be outlined in session newsletter.
