- Talisman Summer Camps
Talisman Summer Program caters to youth, ages 9-17, with issues such as attention deficit disorder and learning disabilities who would excel in a residential program that focuses on establishing positive routines and provides diverse daily activities. Our activities provide a fun environment in which campers can develop self-esteem, trust in self and others, and the basics of good decision-making. We believe that the skills learned during our programming will later transfer to home, school, and in other social settings.
