Programs at Talisman Camps in Zirconia, NC
BeAKid
Ages 6-7
Discovery is a kids Autism, ADHD, and Aspergers camp designed for children ages 6 and 7 years old who may have ASD, ADHD, learning disabilities, or social anxiety. During Session 4, in just 7 days, campers sample many of our popular on-campus activities. The Discovery program model emphasizes both consistency and compassion, as campers build foundational skills in social communication and conflict resolution within a developmentally appropriate peer group. This growth takes place in a safe and fun small group environment where campers can become excited about the activities they try, the friends they make, and the potential they begin to recognize in themselves. This is a great introduction to camp for younger children.
