The camp is located 100 miles east of Dallas near Mineola, Texas. Small groups of 9-12 campers and three counselors live in campsites which are continually being rebuilt by the groups. Each group must perform many of the chores necessary to meet daily living needs. Groups also take canoeing and backpacking trips away from camp property.
Campers return home each weekend to practice the new skills they are learning.
Weekends home provide an opportunity for the family to meet with our therapists. Families are involved in therapy during and after each child's stay. While their child is at camp learning new skills and gaining self-confidence, parents and other family members are learning to create a positive home environment in which all members can feel successful and appreciated. Transportation between camp and the Dallas office is provided by the organization.
