Online Community

Community is an important part of all of our programs at Talisman Camps and Schools. Whether it involves working together to raise the sail in our Talisail Program, or planning a meal in our Wilderness Trek Camp, the Talisman experience centers around helping students learn to form strong bonds in the world around them.

Within our community, family members play an important role in supporting our campers and students as they build independence, confidence, social skills, and responsibility. Because family members are so important to the Talisman community, we have built in a number of ways for families to learn about, enjoy, and participate in their child's experience at our camps and schools. Below you will find some of the ways that you stay connected to your child's experience at our camps and schools.
