The Houston Zoo runs a summer camp called Camp Zoofari that teaches children about animals and conservation. Through the Send a Kid to Camp program, the zoo is able to provide 200 spots in Camp Zoofari to underserved children in Houston for free. The program selects children based on financial need and passion for animals to give them an opportunity to learn at the week-long camp. Since 2010, donations from supporters have raised over $75,000 for the Camp Zoofari Scholarship Fund.
