Updated Safety Procedures
The Houston Zoo continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and follow the recommendations of local health officials and the CDC.
- Camp Zoofari will follow the Zoo’s current mask policy: Per CDC guidelines, masks are strongly encouraged for all guests inside Zoo buildings. Child-sized masks will be available for any campers that would like one. Camp staff can remind campers who have masks of situations when they may wish to wear their mask but will not enforce mask usage.
- Capacities have been reduced.
- Camp groups will be distanced from one another while in camp spaces and encouraged to maintain distance from general Zoo guests while on grounds.
- Each camp will function as a pod, remaining separate from other camp groups.
- Access to camp spaces will be limited to Houston Zoo staff and campers. All drop-off and pick-up for campers will occur curb-side to help maintain the integrity of our camp spaces.
- Camp games and activities, outside of Zoo tours, will occur in camp specific spaces.
- Camp spaces will undergo a thorough daily cleaning, with supplies sanitized as they are used.
