Summer 2026 marks a milestone for Bright Lights (brightlights.org): its 40th summer providing exceptional, hands-on learning experiences to students in Lincoln and surrounding communities.

Since 1987, Bright Lights has served more than 45,000 students in grades K–8, offering enrichment in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math that complements school-year learning. Week-long half-day and full-day camps allow students to learn and create, master new skills, and build new relationships.

To join their 40th summer celebration, consider sponsoring a Bright Lights camp!

Sponsors from local businesses like yours have helped keep the program vibrant through generations of campers, with some now parents themselves and bringing their kids to camp! You can pick a specific camp you’d like to sponsor or simply choose a sponsorship level to help cover the cost of materials, teacher salaries and rental space – all while giving students the best camp experience possible.

To sponsor a Summer 2026 camp, visit brightlights.org/support or contact Megan Ockander, Development Specialist, at mockander@brightlights.org so that she can create a custom sponsor package to fit your budget.

Here’s to you and Bright Lights sparking imaginations and fueling futures for another four decades
