About Talisman Camps

For 30 years Talisman Programs have been providing exceptional programming for children with ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, and other learning differences in an experiential adventure camp environment. Our programs offer children opportunities to develop physical and social competence in an atmosphere that encourages and supports self-regulation and self-direction.
Our activities are designed to build confidence, promote responsibility, and provide a fun and successful summer camp experience. We teach problem-solving and conflict resolution through our insight-oriented group discussions, modeling and practice. Our highly-structured schedule and supportive staff allow campers to relax into a safe environment for building friendships and independence.
We have also developed options to serve our families throughout the year. The addition of our SIGHT programs in 2000 helped us better serve our families of children with autism. More recently, the addition of our Discovery, Academics, and Academic Semesters programs have added other branches to the Talisman family tree. While remaining true in the traditions that have enabled use to achieve more than two decades of successful service to young people and their families, we at Talisman also embrace an innovative spirit that allows us to continue to add new dynamic opportunities to better meet the needs and interests of our campers and their families.
