About

Talisman Camps has spent over 40 years doing one thing: creating exceptional summer experiences for young people with Autism, ADHD, and learning differences — ages 6 to 22. We're not a typical camp that tries to accommodate neurodivergent kids. We're a camp built for nothing else. Every program, every staff member, every activity is designed with your child in mind.

Most camps make room for neurodivergent kids. Talisman was designed exclusively for them. Every program, every staff hire, every activity, every daily schedule — all of it built around how neurodivergent brains actually work. The result is an autism summer camp in North Carolina where kids aren't just accepted — they're in their element. Many of our campers say Talisman Camps is the first place they've ever truly fit in.

• Every camper is neurodivergent — no masking required.

• Staff professionally trained in autism, ADHD, and learning differences.

• Peer-matched groups by age, diagnosis, and developmental stage.

• Consistent routines and visual schedules that reduce anxiety.

• Nonprofit — financial aid available for every session.
