• Talisman Summer Camps

  Talisman summer programs offer camps for children ages 8 to 17 with LD, ADD and ADHD. Our unique summer camps offer much more than the typical summer adventure. We specialize in creating camps that offer not only adventure, but learning experiences, for children and teenagers with learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Asperger's syndrome and high-functioning autism. From our Base Camp program where teens take part in hiking trips, swimming, rock climbing, and boating to our SIGHT program that allows children with Asperger's and high-functioning autism to enjoy the outdoors while building social skills, Talisman provides parents with unique alternatives to ordinary summer camps that cannot focus on their child's special needs.

Over the course of the 3-week expedition, participants realize personal growth as they achieve together each of the challenges before them.
