amp Sonshine, a summer camp that provides both day camp and overnight camp options for youth, opened a new 30-foot-high aerial park at their overnight site, Camp Solaris, for the 2017 summer season. “After being gifted the Camp Solaris site three years ago, we wanted to continue to invest in the community we serve by developing this property,” says Jeff Keiser, executive director at Camp Sonshine. “This spring we built the aerial park and it provided our summer campers an opportunity to learn and grow in a new way and have fun doing it.”

Now that the summer season is coming to an end, Camp Sonshine is opening their new Aerial Park for future Camp Sonshine hosted events and public group rental opportunities. The aerial park, the first of its kind in Nebraska, is complete with twelve challenge course elements, an auto belay system, and a zip line. “We also utilize what is called a SmartSnap system, which allows participants to navigate all of the individual elements of a course alone, without ever detaching from a safety line,” says Keiser. “It’s really like a park in the sky where participants get to choose which elements to do at their own pace.” For more information about the aerial park rental options and Camp Sonshine hosted events, call 402.423.8746 or go to www.
