Our Mission
Camp Royall is a hub of year-round activity that offers a caring, accepting atmosphere and celebrates each individual. The 133-acre camp near Pittsboro is the nation’s largest and oldest camp for people with autism, serving thousands of people each year.
Camp Royall provides typical camp activities, in a structured environment to meet the needs of individuals with autism:
| Swimming | Arts and crafts | Hiking |
| Hayrides | Boating |
After spending time at Camp Royall, individuals show increases in confidence, independence, and a willingness to try new things. Our programs also provide needed respite for families and peace of mind that their loved one is in a safe and loving environment. Campers receive close supervision from highly trained staff; our counselor-to-camper ratio is 1:1 or 1:2, depending on the campers’ level of need.
During the summer, Camp Royall offers residential and day camp. Year-round programs include Family Fun Days and Family Camping, Mini Camps, Adult Retreats, Week-Long Camps during school breaks, an Afterschool Program, and Teen Tuesday (social groups for teens).
