Kids, are you interested in reading some cool library books? Are you interested in earning a circus ticket at the same time? Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey and area libraries will be hosting some serious fun with Reading with Ringling Bros! beginning in June. All branches of the Dallas Public Library System will be participating, along with many of the outlying suburban cities.
Sci-Tech offers week long discovery camps that are either half day (10:00am-12:00pm or 1:00pm-3:00pm) or full-day (10:00am-3:00pm with free lunch supervision from 12:00pm-1:00pm). Camps begin June 11th and run through August 13th, and are open to students who have completed kindergarten through 5th grade. Here’s a detailed camp schedule.
Each week has a different theme such as Ninja Science, Candy Factory, Star Wars Science, Creature Feature, Splash and more! Camps are $90 for members and $100 for non-members with extended childcare available for an additional fee. Registration includes admission to the museum, loads of fun hands-on activities and a camp T-shirt.
If your child loves hands-on science fun, Sci-Tech Discovery Center’s summer camps are just the thing!

If you have small children, then you know about the ‘art guilt’. The first day my daughter came home from preschool, her backpack was filled with glittery, painty, sandy creations. I was thrilled! I excitedly displayed my kid’s art all over our fridge. The next day, more of the same. I was elated to see all the things she could do. But after about 2 weeks, I could scarcely find the handle of the fridge, much less the water dispenser. What was I supposed to do with all of her art? Our poor fridge couldn’t keep up with rate at which she was creating- and it was only September!
