Halfway through Summer 2026!
Midsummer Break – NO CAMP 6/29-7/3/26
As a reminder to all families, we do not have camp for Husker Kids the week of the 4th of July. We’ll see some of you again for Sessions 5-8 that start back up on July 6th!
Camp Registration Update/Migration
We will be moving to a new registration/recreation management software on July 1, 2026. Families with a recent or active registration will be migrated automatically. We will share more information on how to access your accounts next week.
Session 5-8 Registrations
We do have spaces available in some grades for Sessions 5-8. If you would like to register in the current system, you must do so by Monday, June 29 at 8:00am. After that, all registrations will need to wait until the new system is up and running on July 1st. Anyone with an outstanding balance for Sessions 7 & 8 will have it applied manually to your account in the new system.
Please direct any questions to Camp Director, Brian Stelzer- bstelzer(a)unl.edu<mailto:bstelzer@unl.edu>.

Good afternoon, Husker Kids Families!
We hope those of you who were with us Session 1 have enjoyed the first week of camp!
For everyone, we found that our online system had temporarily taken down all but our waitlist registrations. We do still have space available in the coming weeks. As you can see in the screenshot below for Session 3, any grade with "Sign Up" still has space available. Any with "Full" will not allow registration, so you can register on the bottom of the page for the "Waitlist - All Grades."
Please let me know if you have any questions! Have a wonderful weekend!
