Ask about paying with waiver respite. Texas’s waiver is the Home and Community-based Services (HCS) Waiver, and respite hours can often be spent on camp, billed as out-of-home respite. Ask your case manager, and ask the camp whether they accept Texas waiver funding. How Texas’s waiver works →
515 Skyline Drive, Center Point, TX 78010
A 55-acre American Camp Association-accredited camp on the Guadalupe River, running since 1979, with an aquatic center, healthcare center, arts and crafts center, nature center and cabins. Summer camp runs as six-day, five-night sessions for children AND adults aged 5 to 55 with mild to severe disabilities — medical, physical, intellectual or developmental — and siblings aged 5 to 13 without a disability can attend alongside them. Medical staff and a care clinic are available to campers around the clock. Respite weekend camps run monthly through the school year from September to May, Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, so a family can get an actual break without waiting for summer.
Accepts respite funding through the CLASS, DBMD, HCS, Texas Home Living and STAR Kids/MDCP waivers, and offers subsidised rates based on income — so a family already on a waiver may pay little or nothing. San Antonio office: (210) 439-9581.
