TALISMAN PROGRAMS
What we're all about...
Talisman Summer Programs are wilderness experiential programs offering children opportunities to develop physical and social competence in an atmosphere that encourages self-regulation and self-direction. Utilizing a high staff to camper ratio and small groups, we address the needs of campers struggling with ADHD, learning disabilities and Asperger's Syndrome. We offer a wide variety of courses specifically tailored to the different age groups and developmental needs that we serve. Activities within the courses include ropes courses, rock climbing, backpacking, whitewater rafting, tree climbing, arts & crafts, and drama. Programs are run in NC, NY and WA.
