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.

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.
