Can Ranch Camp accept payment from a waiver program, insurance, general revenue or other third party payers?

Yes! Down Home Ranch is willing to contract and accept payment from 3rd party payers (responsible entities).

We have contracted with many Local Intellectual Development Disability Authorities (LIDDAs) and private residential providers.

If the responsible entity would like to pay once camp is completed, a Authorization Letter or Letter of Guarantee must be submitted with the camper's application.

For questions about contracting, please email us at camp@downhomeranch.org.

As of 2019 many Texas IDD waivers will no longer allow for respite funds to be used at camps that are not accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA).

Ranch Camp is NOT an accredited ACA camp. We are currently working towards accreditation but do not expect the process to be completed until 2022 or beyond.
