Within a 30 minute drive of Omaha and Lincoln, the Eastern Nebraska 4-H Center is located in the bluffs of the Platte River Valley just eight miles south of Gretna, Nebraska. We share 350 acres with Schramm State Park and the Ak-Sar-Ben Aquarium and Outdoor Ed Center.

In addition to the natural beauty of the oak/hickory forest, natural tall grass prairie, and well groomed hiking trails, our facilities are first rate. Each cabin is air-conditioned with a bathroom and shower. Our spacious lodge is air-conditioned with plenty of room for inside games, crafts, and dining.  The grounds also contain shooting ranges, the T.R.U.S.T. course, rec courts, and a new 115 foot long-37 foot high water slide!

New in 2009, Eastern will introduce a world-class challenge event called the Odyssey Course. Teams of up to eight participants conquer obstacles over 30 feet in the air learning a whole new definition of teamwork.
