Houston Zoo's Camp Zoofari Wins Nickelodeon's ParentsConnect Parents' Picks Awards for Best Day Camp

Thank you for your support!

Parents in the greater Houston area voted for their favorite family-friendly places.  Participants in Nickelodeon’s ParentsConnect Parents’ Picks Awards 2009 have voted the Houston Zoo’s Camp Zoofari as Houston’s Best Day Camp - the coolest place to send their happy campers for some fun in the sun!  In 2008, the Houston Zoo was the winner of the Parents’ Picks quest to find the Best Place for Family Bonding in Houston. 
 

“We’re honored to be recognized for a second year,” said Houston Zoo Public Programs Supervisor Victoria Sokol.  “Thank you to everyone who voted for Camp Zoofari, and to the creative and talented Education Department staff who together make our program a success,” added Sokol.

All Parents’ Picks 2009 nominees were selected based on recommendations from ParentsConnect.Com local city editors that live and work in the cities they cover, in conjunction with feedback from the ParentsConnect community.  Users’ votes and rankings ultimately decide which venues are selected as winners in their respective categories.  For more information about Parents’ Picks 2009 winners and nominees visit http://gocitykids.parentsconnect.com/parents-picks/best-local-places.
