Summer Camps 2026

Welcome to Summer Camps at Texas Discovery Gardens!

At Texas Discovery Gardens, our summer camps are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence and foster a lifelong connection to nature. Campers explore the living world through hands-on science, outdoor discovery, and creative problem- solving, guided by experienced educators in a fun, supportive environment. We teach through engaging storylines and imaginative play, allowing campers to step into the roles of explorers, scientists, and conservationists throughout the week. Campers can earn and collect gems for participation and positive choices, which they can later spend at the Critter Store, helping reinforce early math skills, responsibility, and decision-making in a fun way. Activities take place primarily on our campus, with thoughtful pacing to keep campers comfortable in the summer heat and flexible plans that adapt to weather conditions. Whether your child is meeting animal ambassadors up close, investigating habitats, or learning how people can protect the natural world, each camp offers meaningful experiences rooted in exploration, stewardship, and fun.
