The University of Nebraska at Omaha Physics Department welcomes you to Aim for the Stars Summer Science and Math Camp! For the past 13 summers, Aim for the Stars has been the premier hands-on informal science and math oriented summer camp in the Omaha metro area. At camp, we aim to ignite the inner scientist in all who come to camp. We pride ourselves in knowing that our staff’s knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject they teach will inspire your child’s desire to learn about the world around them. See you at camp!

Dismissal each afternoon is from Durham Science Center room 116. Each child is dismissed directly to her/his parent or guardian. It can get crowded as each child is called from a large group as parents and guardians arrive. You may want your older camper to meet you outside the Durham Science Center near the west parking lot. Please park in the spaces in LOT G and the children will come to you. There will be plenty of adult supervision. Children must have written permission to leave the building unaccompanied at the end of the day. With permission, campers may sign themselves out after camp. (Not allowed for third graders.) This arrangement must be made by the week, not daily. Please call for more information.

Gameboys, cell phones, ipods and the like are to be kept at home. They may not be used at Aim for the Stars. If the device is being used outside of before or after care, counselors and/or teachers will confiscate and send the device to the camp director. It will be returned at the end of the day. No sooner. The misuse of such machinery during camp and the amount of lost/”stolen” games has led to this rule.
Use of cell phones to call or receive calls from parents or others is discouraged during camp hours, including the lunch period. There is a telephone in each room and teachers carry cell phones on field trips that may be used for emergency calls to parents. Parents should call 554-4999 if they need to speak to a child. Cell phones do not operate well in this building.
