Looking for Summer Camps in Amarillo full of science, hands-on learning, and fun? The Discovery Center offers a fun and safe space for kids to learn all summer long.

Join us for one of nine themed camp weeks during DHDC’s Year of the Dinos at one of the best STEM summer camps in Amarillo. Each week features hands-on experiments, creative crafts, and time exploring our state-of-the-art dinosaur exhibits as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. All camps are led by passionate Amarillo educators and use TEKS-aligned curriculum, giving families a trusted, engaging summer camp experience in Amarillo.
