June 2-6, 2025
Camp T.A.L.K.S at Vanderbilt Hearing and Speech Sciences is a day camp that runs the first full week of June, for children and teens who stutter (8-16) and their families. Campers and their families will meet and interact in an environment that is accepting, supportive, positive, and fun at an enjoyable Summer camp venue.
Camp TALKS' mission is to empower children and teens who stutter to become confident communicators by developing understanding and acceptance of their stuttering, tools for improving communication, and self-advocacy skills for educating others in the community about stuttering.
Parents and family meet Monday morning and Friday afternoon, the week of Camp. They will discuss stuttering, share their stories, and talk about how to better support their children's journeys with their stuttering.
Our goal is to help children and teens who stutter become more confident communicators who can communicate how, where, when, and with whom they want!
