WHAT IS JR. BLACKSHIRTS™?
During home football games, UNL Campus Recreation will be providing recreational activities in a child care setting. The program is located in the Campus Recreation Center, which is one block east of Memorial Stadium. Children two to twelve years of age are welcome to attend while their parents/guardians attend the Husker football game.
Jr. Blackshirts™ is administered by professional staff members of UNL Campus Recreation and supported by highly motivated University students. Children are placed in activity areas according to their age. To ensure high quality and optimal supervision, the camp maintains a low child-to-staff ratio.
