Career Day Camps
At Bright Lights, middle school students can "try on" a career in three different weeklong summer career camps held Monday - Friday, 9 am–4 pm. These day camps provide students with the opportunity to explore a profession and actively pursue their interest in specialized fields. By allowing students time to tinker, wonder and experiment, these camps provide opportunities typically unavailable during the school year.
Most camps are conducted "on-site" at various community locations, where students learn from experts in the field. Professionals help develop the camps and assist in the presentations. Students receive an overview of a profession and enjoy confidence-building participation.
Architecture Career Day Camp
Post 6th - Post 9th grade
Hosted by UNL's College of Architecture, students will have the opportunity to explore architecture, interior design, community planning, and landscape architecture and have the opportunity to learn design skills with a community project. Students from AIAS (American Institute of Architecture Students), a professional student group at UNL, assist with this camp.
Healthcare Explorers Career Day Camp
Post 6th - Post 8th grade
The Medical Camp has been offered since 1993 at Bryan LGH East where students receive a rare glimpse into the inner life of a hospital. They explore an air ambulance, experiment with laser surgery on apples and oranges, and talk shop with the epidemic response team. Students also medicate, feed and care for Stan - the Human Patient Simulator.
Mature behavior is expected due to site restrictions. All students registering for Medical Healthcare camp will need to sign a behavior contract, along with his/her guardian's signature, and return it prior to admission.
Engineering Career Day Camp
