Families report their children are very well cared for and make huge gains, looking forward to returning every summer. The campus is in a beautiful location in Western North Carolina. The admissions team has great communication, contributing to an experience where campers are over the moon and families are very happy and relieved to have found Talisman.
My daughter's 6th year here. She is in love with this place and so am I. The counselors really care about their campers.

A trailhead for the PT. Beautiful grounds. Not sure if the buildings are used.

My son has attended this camp for 2 summer sessions so far, and I cannot praise the program enough. My son was very well cared for and made huge gains in areas related to independence. I saw that he was okay without me for the week and that I was okay without him. Beautiful place!
