Each summer Shangri La participates in Mission Possible: Texas Nature Challenge coordinated by the AgriLIFE EXTENSION, Texas Forest Service, and Houston Wilderness. This event encourages families to reconnect with the outdoors by completing different “missions” at a variety of state parks, nature centers, and other environmental learning facilities throughout the Houston Wilderness and surrounding areas of Southeast Texas.
At each site participants complete activities designed for family fun and nature exploration. The family with the most completed Missions wins the GRAND PRIZE to be awarded at the closing ceremonies.
Please visit their website at

The 2011 Closing Ceremony is on Saturday, August 13, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 pm at Nature Discovery Center, Bellaire, Texas.
