CAMP LEGACY GOALS

Our goal at Camp Legacy in Omaha, NE is to inspire young children through immersive outdoor experiences. We aim to foster curiosity, build confidence, and encourage teamwork, all while exploring what it is like to be a kid. The staff strives to create lasting memories in a fun, adventurous, and safe environment where campers can connect with nature and each other.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT CAMP

Camp Legacy in Omaha, NE strives to create a positive, enriching, and memorable summer day camp experience by focusing on these key areas:

Safety and Well-Being: Safety is the top priority. Your campers are led by a well-trained staff with clear camp guidelines in a secure environment. Parents should feel confident that their kids are in good hands.

Engaging Activities: Camp Legacy provides a wide variety of fun, age-appropriate activities that challenge campers both physically and creatively. Outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, swimming, sports, and team-building exercises keep campers engaged and excited, with new options added each year.

Supportive Staff: Camp counselors and staff are friendly, enthusiastic, and trained to work with kids. These team members are role models who inspire confidence, encourage participation, and create a positive, inclusive atmosphere.

Fostering Friendships: Opportunities for social interaction and team-based activities to help kids build friendships, learn cooperation, and develop strong communication skills happen all summer long.

Encouraging Independence and Growth: Campers are encouraged to try new things, take healthy risks, and step outside their comfort zones to help them build confidence, independence, and problem-solving skills.

Connection to Nature: Creating a strong connection to nature through exploration, hands-on learning, and eco-friendly activities helps campers develop an appreciation for the environment.

Memorable Experiences: Special events, camp traditions, and unique adventures make the experience unforgettable, leaving kids with a sense of accomplishment and cherished memories.

Positive Camp Culture: Above all, Camp Legacy is a welcoming, inclusive environment where kids can feel safe to be themselves and where everyone is encouraged to participate and have fun.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY

Just a few weeks into camp our kids are loving it! They come home every day telling us about the fun outdoor activities and how helpful and caring the staff are. They are only little once, so we are grateful they get this experience for their summer! Thanks Camp Legacy Staff!

Summer 2021 at Camp Legacy is the greatest! After a year of mostly online learning, my 8-year-old was ready for fun and adventure this summer (oh and lots of pool time). We have an upper and lower camper and are so happy to have such a great option for our kids. They wake up excited to go and are dirty and tired at pick up – this is a good thing I promise! Our kids LOVE the staff and new friends they meet and I love that Camp Legacy brings new activities or adds new pieces to the camp every year. Big thanks to Camp Legacy!

Camp Legacy does a wonderful job of providing a fun and safe place for kids to enjoy summer! My kids have been attending Camp Legacy for several summers now and they LOVE it! I can’t say enough wonderful things about the staff and camp counselors that run it. The kids get to spend lots of time outside exploring, swimming, playing games and doing all the fun things that summer is about.

-Melissa G.

This is our first summer at Camp Legacy and we absolutely LOVE IT. Our grade schoolers are having so much fun being outside and doing all manner of great kid activities. We pick them up each night and they are exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. Where before we had to pull teeth to find out what their day was like, now they cannot wait to discuss all the fun activities in which they participated.
