Discovery Fridays at DHDC
Make discoveries every Friday!
Registration isn’t open yet for fall 2026’s Discovery Fridays or other Discovery Day Camps. Join our waitlist so you’ll be notified when registration is live!
Starting August 21, Discovery Fridays are BACK!
Keep curiosity growing all year long with Discovery Fridays! Designed for children ages 4–11, Discovery Fridays offer exciting, hands-on STEM enrichment that keeps kids learning, creating, and exploring on days they’re out of school. Whether your child attends a 4-day school district like Bushland ISD or Amarillo Collegiate Academy, or you’re looking for a fun, educational alternative to childcare on Fridays, Discovery Fridays provide a safe, engaging environment filled with science experiments, engineering challenges, technology, art, and more.
Campers can register for full days or half days to fit your family’s schedule. Half-day mornings run 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m., half-day afternoons are 12:30–4:00 p.m., and full-day camps are 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (Full-day registration is available for children ages 5 and up.) Need extra flexibility? Add pre-care and after-care for convenient early drop-off or late pick-up—and save even more when you purchase both!
