We believe there should be no boundaries to the Camp Zoofari experience. Campers of all abilities are welcome to join. Trained staff and teen mentors supervise campers at all times.
The Camp Zoofari experience includes:
- Exploring Zoo grounds, which has varying smells, light, noise, and temperature levels
- Maneuvering on uneven terrain
- Spending up to 2 hours at a time outdoors, covering anywhere from 1-3 miles per day
- Participating in both group and individual activities
- Moving to and from the floor or ground
- Utilizing public restrooms
- Maintaining a positive attitude and following staff instructions
Our goal is to set up all campers and staff for success. To help us provide the best possible experience, please inform us of all special considerations prior to participation. This may include information on allergies, accessibility concerns, behavioral, psychological or emotional conditions as well as any other special needs. If your child needs to attend with a full-time care provider, special arrangements can be made. Please contact us prior to registration at education@houstonzoo.org or 713-533-6739 to make an accommodation request. We are happy to work with households to make Camp Zoofari accessible to campers with varying needs. We are, however, unable to provide one-on-one support or supplementary services.
