Both these programs are services of Burke Center's substance abuse division. The Wilderness Camp is a camping site with five cabins, two bathrooms and a dining hall with full kitchen facilities. The camp can accommodate up to 30 people for overnight stays and up to 60 for day use. While these facilities are primarily utilized by Burke Center clients, any organization or business may also rent either facility.
Respite services are also available upon request.
The ropes course teaches team building skills, self-esteem enhancement and to trust in yourself and others. All activities are centered around having fun. The course also focuses on communication and problem solving skills for teams. All proceeds from renting either facility go toward Burke Center's substance abuse prevention and intervention services serving children and adolescents. Both facilities are located on the campus of Peavy Switch Recovery Center off FM 2497 between Diboll and Hudson.
