The best thing about summer in Amarillo is the number of summer camps available for the kids.  You can find a camp for almost any interest your child may have.

If you have a child who loves animals and they aspire to be a veterinarian, then you want to sign them up for this one-of-a-kind camp at the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine.

The Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo officially opened in Amarillo in the fall of 2021.  Since its opening, this school has been teaching future vets the techniques they will need to take care of small and large animals.
