Send a Kid to Camp

Every year, the Houston Zoo sets aside 200 spots at Camp Zoofari for scholarship recipients. By giving a gift to our Send a Kid to Camp scholarship campaign, you can make summer camp dreams come true!

For many Houston-area families, the high cost of a quality camp means their kids can’t participate in an enriching experience during the summer break. That’s why every year, the Houston Zoo sets aside 200 scholarship spots at Camp Zoofari. By giving to the Send a Kid to Camp campaign, you can provide deserving kids with an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the natural world, wildlife conservation, and the animals that call the Houston Zoo home.

The 2026 Send a Kid to Camp campaign has closed. We are deeply grateful to those who funded this summer’s camp scholarships! Please click here to see more ways to support your Houston Zoo.
