Financial Aid

We believe every child deserves the chance to experience the growth, friendships, and joy that come from a summer at Talisman Camps. Our financial aid options help ensure camp remains accessible to families who may need additional support. Any family is welcome to apply, and awards are offered based on financial need, available funding, and program space. By reducing financial barriers, we stay true to our mission of supporting neurodivergent youth and empowering them to thrive.

1. Scholarship Opportunities

We offer several types of financial support each year. Availability may vary based on funding and enrollment.

Need-Based Scholarships

These awards help families who require financial assistance to make camp possible. Scholarships are granted based on household income, financial circumstances, and the level of need demonstrated in the application.

Single-Parent Household Discount

Families with a single-parent household may qualify for a reduced tuition rate. Verification is requested during the application process.

Sibling Discount

Families enrolling more than one camper in the same summer season may receive a tuition discount for additional siblings.

Returning Camper Support

Campers who have attended Talisman before and demonstrate continued growth may be eligible for small returning-camper assistance, depending on available funding.

Special Donor-Supported Funds

At times, individual donors or partner organizations contribute to a dedicated scholarship pool. When available, these funds help support campers with significant financial need or specific diagnoses.

Note: Scholarships and discounts are limited each summer. We encourage families to apply early for the best opportunity.
