Once in a lifetime experiance!
I spent my summer at Camp Talisman for kids with autism and ADHD. I had an amazing time, by far the best experience of my life which I would recommend anyone to do at least once in their lifetime. There are many different camp types out there to suit everyone, so don't worry. Skilled Summers will match you to the perfect camp.

A Rewarding Summer with Skilled Summer
I had an amazing experience working with Skilled Summers. This year, I went to Camp Chipinaw working as the weights instructor. The process of getting placed was smooth and well-organized, and I always felt supported along the way. Cat was especially helpful—she answered every question quickly and made sure I felt confident before heading out. The role itself was a perfect fit, and it gave me the chance to grow while doing something I love. I’m grateful for the opportunity and would definitely recommend Skilled Summers to anyone looking for a rewarding camp experience.
