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.
