Best Friends Foster Pet Camp and HPARD Summer Food Service Program

May 27, 2021

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

As school breaks for the summer in Houston, kids 7 to 12 years-old can enjoy a FREE immersive learning opportunity through the Best Friends Foster Pet Camp (#BFFPetCamp). Launching June 1st with rolling admission, campers will be paired with a furry camp companion for four to six weeks and be invited to participate together in a series of online and in-home activities and challenges designed to teach the camper about animal care, safety, enrichment, and compassion. Campers will also learn virtually from animal experts with Best Friends Animal Society.

Through the #BFFPetCamp, kids will be provided with the tools to make a real lifesaving impact for animals throughout the greater Houston community. By the end of the camp, they will realize their ability and be rewarded with a Lifesaving Achievement certificate and some cool SWAG for making a positive community contribution. Best Friends will provide all supplies, support, and any veterinary care. Campers and their families provide their camp pet with love, TLC and a temporary place to live. To register for the FREE Best Friends Foster Pet Camp, CLICK HERE.

The Houston Parks and Recreation Department's 2021 Summer Food Service Program provides nutritious breakfast and lunches Monday through Friday to youths age 18 and under at Houston Parks Community Centers and other participating locations including: churches, apartment complexes, learning centers, and other nonprofit organizations.
