Talisman Programs

Talisman Programs offers specialized overnight camp experiences specifically designed for young people with ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, high-functioning autism, and similar learning differences. The program combines the joy of a traditional summer camp with the structured programming and highly-trained staff necessary to support neurodivergent campers in a safe, engaging environment.

Campers participate in a wide range of activities including fine arts, science, swimming, waterfront adventures, and wilderness exploration. The curriculum is intentionally crafted to help campers build essential life skills, such as increased responsibility, problem-solving, and social communication, all while engaging in nature-based and adventurous play.

Serving a wide age range from 6 to 22, Talisman Programs provides a supportive community for campers to grow their independence. Located in Zirconia, NC, the camp focuses on creating a structured setting where students with learning differences can thrive through hands-on learning and peer interaction.
