Sam's Story Sam wants to be a zookeeper when he grows up. He made up his mind about it last year at Camp Zoofari, here at the Houston Zoo. Last year at camp, he fed a giraffe, petted a porcupine, and made new friends. Not only did he learn that he loved animals of all shapes and sizes, camp helped him realize his dream for the future. Unfortunately, Sam almost didn't get to go to camp at all. Although he worked hard at school and made good grades, his mom couldn't afford to send him to summer camp when he asked. When Sam's teacher found out, she recommended him for a scholarship to Camp Zoofari and a few months later he was grooming a goat at camp. Last year we reached 295 kids just like Sam. This year, you can help us reach even more. Give a gift and help send a kid to camp.

Each week during Camp Zoofari, the Zoo will invite underprivileged children from our waiting list who cannot afford to attend camp to fill open spaces as they become available.
Camp Zoofari is an action-packed, hands-on, week-long day camp for students ages 4-12. At Camp Zoofari, students learn about the natural world, wildlife conservation, and the animals that call the Houston Zoo home.
Because not every family can afford to send their child to Camp Zoofari, we are asking you to help provide a scholarship to help them get there.
Will you help a kid get to camp? |
With your help, local children who would not otherwise be able to participate in Camp Zoofari, can have an amazing summer experience where they will learn and grow while discovering nature.
