At Christi Center, we often tell the story of zebras. Unlike horses, which go it alone, zebras huddle together and don’t always act as others expect, much like people who are grieving. It’s a simple metaphor for how grief is unique and how our community supports one another. Camp Zebra is a five-day day camp that aims to provide support and safety for children and teens who have experienced the death loss of a loved one. Campers can look forward to connection, emotional support and fun through therapeutic activities led by a licensed therapist, interns and volunteers.

The dates for Camp are:

TEENS: July 13-July 17, 2025 from 9 am -3 pm.  Late pick-up will offered until 4 pm as needed.

YOUNGER KIDS: July 27-July 31, 2025 from 9 am -3 pm.  Late pick-up will offered until 4 pm as needed.

Camp Zebra is provided free of charge, however, a registration fee of $40 for the first camper and $5 per each additional camper applies. A limited number of scholarships is available for families who need assistance with Camp Zebra registration fees. Please contact Rachel Saffer, LCSW-S at rachel@christicenter.org for more information on how to apply for a scholarship.

*If you are purchasing tickets for multiple campers (including a combination of Teens and Younger Kids), please add 1 regular ticket to your cart and then in your cart, select the number of ADDITIONAL CAMPER tickets (either Additional Teen Campers or Additional Younger Kids Campers) you will need.*

Please note that space is limited to 50 participants (25 campers ages 5-12 and 25 campers ages 13-18). Campers are accepted on a first come first serve basis.  If your camper will not be able to attend all 5 days this summer, we ask that you reconnect with us for Summer 2027.

Camp Zebra will be held at our Austin location at 2306 Hancock Dr. Austin, TX 78756.
