Summer should be filled with adventure, friendship, creativity, and opportunities for children to grow. That’s exactly what families find at Camp Legacy, Omaha’s premier summer day camp experience.
Each summer, the beautiful 11-acre Legacy School campus transforms into Camp Legacy, offering ten exciting one-week camp sessions designed to keep children active, engaged, and making memories all summer long. Whether your child loves outdoor adventures, hands-on activities, creative projects, or simply spending time with friends, Camp Legacy provides a summer experience they’ll look forward to year after year.
What Makes Camp Legacy Different?
When parents search for a summer camp in Omaha, they want more than childcare. They want a place where their children will be safe, active, challenged, and excited to return each day.
At Camp Legacy, every week is designed around those goals. Our campers enjoy:
- Outdoor adventures on our expansive campus
- Hands-on learning and discovery
- Team-building activities and games
- Creative arts and crafts
- Sports and recreation
- Opportunities to build confidence and independence
- A welcoming environment where friendships flourish
Unlike many summer programs that repeat the same activities week after week, Camp Legacy offers 10 unique one-week sessions, giving families the flexibility to choose the weeks that fit their schedules while providing campers with fresh experiences throughout the summer.
Summer Camp Options for Every Age
Lower Camp (Ages 4-5)
Our Lower Camp is designed specifically for current Legacy School students ages 4 and 5, as we have found that campers this young need to be familiar with their surroundings prior to spending an entire day at camp.
Young campers enjoy age-appropriate activities that encourage exploration, creativity, social development, and confidence-building in a safe and nurturing environment. Campers participate in structured activities while still having plenty of opportunities for imaginative play and outdoor fun.
For many children entering preschool or kindergarten, Lower Camp also helps ease the transition into the school year and longer school days by building familiarity with the campus, routines, and community.
Upper Camp (Completed Kindergarten Through 5th Grade)
Upper Camp is open to the public and welcomes children who have completed Kindergarten through 5th grade.
Older campers enjoy exciting weekly themes, group challenges, outdoor games, hands-on projects, and opportunities to build friendships with peers from across the Omaha area.
Whether families are looking for a few weeks of summer fun or an activity-packed schedule throughout the season, Upper Camp offers flexibility and memorable experiences for elementary-aged children.
