Session Information
The Autism Society of North Carolina runs two residential summer camps for children and adults on the autism spectrum. We are currently hiring counselors to work at both of our camps; Camp Royall near Chapel Hill, NC (May 17 - July 30) and Mountain Adventure near Asheville, NC (June 6 - July 23).
Camp Royall is accredited by the American Camping Association.
Due to a large waiting list each summer the Autism Society of North Carolina Summer Camp Program is only able to serve campers who are residents of North Carolina.
