PHOTO GALLERY: Scenes from UNK’s seventh annual Loper Launch summer camp

About 425 elementary and middle school youths are participating in the Loper Launch Enrichment Camp this month.

The summer camp features hands-on, one-week classes in fine arts, science, the outdoors, cooking and many other areas. Students also are taking part in four-week academies, which include reading and theater, as well as a one-week speech academy.

This year’s camp is taking place at UNK and the newly renovated Museum of Nebraska Art.
