An outreach program designed for survivors. This program will help women understand emotional beauty, which leads to positive self-worth; physical beauty, which leads to eating healthy and exercising; and spiritual beauty, which leads to the inner qualities of being a woman of God’s design.

Volunteers do makeovers, seminars/workshops on self-esteem, healthy eating, and exercise, and assist women with wardrobes for the workplace.

By supporting survivors and embracing them through their restoration journey, we believe we will empower them to move forward and find the strength to Love, Believe, and Dream again.

We want to give young men and women recently affected by childhood cancer their Texas hunting or fishing dream trip.

The Health and Wholeness Center, a ministry of the Benedictine Sisters of Boerne, opened in 1990. It serves as an ecumenical “home away from home” for individuals ages 50 and older. Its overall purpose is to address the needs of the whole person by providing programs designed to enhance the wellness of body, mind, and spirit.

The success of the Health and Wholeness Center is due in part to its philosophy for volunteerism which embraces a theme of “Seniors Serving Seniors”. Nearly 30 members volunteer throughout the year at the Health and Wholeness Center in various capacities including program leadership, and grounds beautification.

The Center offers activities Monday thru Friday including water exercise classes and lap swimming in an enclosed, Jr. Olympic size pool with regulated temperatures.

Regularly scheduled art and fitness classes are also offered as well as opportunities to socialize.

Trinity Oaks is humbled to have the honor of hosting people afflicted with terminal illness on “Texas Dream Trips,” which we hope fulfill their last outdoor-based wish.

It is a blessing to bring joy to a person battling life-threatening illnesses.  Through Texas Dream Trips, we create an outdoor experience the entire family will share forever and another reason for those battling life-threatening or terminal conditions to fight a bit harder and hopefully beat the illness.

For people battling life-threatening or terminal illnesses, the results of nature programming are even more dramatic.  According to the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania, fulfilling the dreams of children battling life-threatening or terminal illnesses and connecting them with nature helps not only ease their psychological stress but also eases the burden on all of their families, helping them cope with their loss in a meaningful way.

Top medical caregivers of sick children identify that psychosocial needs that must be met include:

• Time to be a child, i.e., engaging in age-appropriate activities for children
• spiritual needs, including expressing gratitude for nature, God, or whatever other culturally or family-appropriate channel
• and wish fulfillment when possible.

Addressing these needs can also significantly help families cope with the imminent loss of their loved one and assist the grieving process.

Anyone battling a life-threatening illness.

Trinity Oaks dedicates our Heroes Celebrations to humbly serving and sharing our appreciation for the brave men and women who protect our American way of life.

Our outdoor program for Heroes focuses on combat veterans of all generations and first responders. We understand that healing internal and external injuries and promoting general well-being is a process made easier by spending time outdoors.

For our Heroes, Trinity Oaks hosts experiences of a lifetime! Through adaptive methods, such as Trinity Oaks’ Action Trackchair (a customized, all-terrain wheelchair on tracks), participants can move beyond physical limitations to enjoy hunting and fishing with increased mobility and independence. We understand that not all injuries are physical and often host live combat veterans who are dealing with PTSD and other mental traumas.

At the end of each trip, the harvested fish and game are processed and given to the participants or distributed to others who need a nutritious meal.

Trinity Oaks launched a special StarKids program for the sons and daughters of fallen first responders and combat veterans. Losing a parent changes a child’s life forever. When that parent falls as a hero, a first responder, or a veteran who was helping others or protecting our freedoms, the trauma is multiplied even further. 

The Trinity Oaks’ StarKids program aims to help these sons and daughters honor their families’ sacrifices with a unique outdoor experience.

StarKids focuses on children of fallen military veterans who died in combat and first responders, police officers, game wardens, disaster responders, and firefighters between the ages of 10 and 18 years.

Each child is paired with a fallen first responder’s agency or military branch member as a hunting buddy and mentor. Both become “hunter safety certified” together before the hunt. Groups of 4-6 StarKids and their buddies then participate in a unique hunt together for deer, hog, or an exotic hunt, depending on the group’s interest.

Ages: 10-18.

Children of fallen veterans, first responders, police officers, and game wardens.

Young people can build self-confidence through the development of specialized skills, and this is one of the best defenses against unhealthy peer pressure.

Through the Trinity Oaks’ H2O Outdoor Adventure program, kids are exposed to a full day of challenging tasks. As they sample unfamiliar activities such as archery, hunting, wilderness survival skills, firearms safety, and outdoor cooking, these young people will practice group participation, physical exertion, humility, and thinking on their feet — skills our next generation needs and can use daily.

As trained mentors and special guest celebrities lead them, participants will acquire new abilities in the outdoors, perhaps even without realizing that the process is occurring.

This beautiful treatment center is nestled in the heart of the Texas hill country, just outside of historic Fredericksburg. Known for its peach orchards, vineyards, and historic downtown, Fredericksburg epitomizes rest, relaxation, and retreat. It is the perfect setting for our patients to get away from the status quo and find freedom from drug and alcohol addiction.

The residential treatment program at the Fredericksburg treatment center accommodates 32 patients. Patients in need of detoxification will be sent to our Abilene campus for detox before beginning the residential treatment program in Fredericksburg.

Our Fredericksburg campus is staffed by highly-trained, licensed counselors from a variety of backgrounds.  Our counselors know that reclaiming one’s life is no easy task; it is a step-by-step process that requires an immense amount of support.  That is why every patient is given a personalized treatment plan that involves one-on-one counseling, group counseling, education, health and fitness time, relaxation, family counseling, and many other crucial recovery services.

This plan will involve group counseling, individual counseling, classes and group processing, fitness and nutrition, and regular twelve-step meetings. We aim to treat the primary addiction to drugs and alcohol with an eye to the patient’s particular situation, especially any complicating factors – cross-addiction, co-occurring conditions, mental health conditions, etc.
