Escapees CARE Center

Escapees CARE

Let the staff, residents and a volunteer of Escapees CARE tell you about their Residency, Respite and Volunteer Programs firsthand. Whether you need it now or one day, you'll be able to share details of this unique program, 'Kay's Dream', with other club members on the road! We'll also lend a hand with some honey do's.

Lake Livingston State Park

Local Environment

We'll visit and volunteer at Big Thicket National Preserve, America's 'first' national preserve, established back in 1974, protecting a biologically significant portion of the Piney Woods of SE Texas. Take a time out with a day at Lake Livingston State Park, where you can fish one of the largest lakes in the state, hike quiet trails through the forest, geocache or drop a kayak in the water for a gentle paddle.

Bluff Creek String Band

Entertainment

Tempe Creek Winery will provide a wine-tasting and Mark Nemeth will offer a mead-making lesson. There will be a guided visit to the nearby 'Johnson Rock Shop' and a chance to win big at the Naskila Casino, run by the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas. We'll get to hear Escapees' own Cole Carter and friends play some Bluegrass & Beach Boys at our own musical evening at 'Across the Tracks'. All in addition to local Escapees' and traditional Hangout activities like Line-dancing, Bingo, an Ice Cream Social, Board Games and the not-to-be-forgotten Potluck.

We love our pets and try to choose pet-friendly activities. However, we recommend making advanced arrangements for your pet if you’ll be away all day. Many attendees use www.rover.com.
If this event isn't right for you, consider another Hangout or perhaps an Xscapers Convergence, which are designed around working-age RVers with most activities in the evenings and weekends. For a more all-inclusive experience, consider one of our HOPs.
