A Weekly Newsletter of the Husker Summer Recreational Day Camps
Welcome to Summer Camps 2022!
This newsletter is filled with information about the upcoming sessions' activities and points of emphasis that help make the camp a great experience for all. Let us know if you have any questions or if there is a way we can make camp an even better experience for your child.

Construction has started at our drop-off/pick-up parking lot. This should not affect our current operations, but it will shorten our loop!
