Build a camp experience that changes lives.  The Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC) is seeking an, organized, and mission-driven leader to serve as Camp Royall Director.  Camp Royall is the nation's largest and oldest camp for people with autism. Nestled on 133 wooded acres near Pittsboro, Camp Royall offers year-round programming — from summer overnight and day camps to teen retreats, adult weekends, and family fun days — where campers ages 4 to adulthood build skills, gain confidence, and make lifelong friends in a loving, accepting environment.    Reporting to the Recreation and Camp Services Director, the Camp Royall Director provides oversight for every aspect of camp life — programming and camper experience, staff hiring and training, a $1.5M annual operating budget, property and facilities, and community and donor relationships. In this role, you'll be the driving force behind an inclusive, joyful, and safe environment where campers with autism can thrive, and where staff and families feel supported every step of the way.    This is a rare opportunity to lead a nationally recognized, iconic, mission-driven camp that improves lives throughout the year — for campers, families, and the college students and young professionals who become camp counselors. If you're an organized, empathetic leader who understands the unique needs of individuals with autism and knows how to inspire a team, we want to hear from you.    About Camp Royall     Located in Chatham County near Pittsboro, Camp Royall is a hub of year-round activity that offers a caring, supportive atmosphere and celebrates each individual. Campers enjoy classic camp fun — swimming, arts and crafts, hiking, hayrides, and boating — all within a structured environment designed around the needs of individuals with autism. Camp Royall is accredited by the American Camping Association, and counselor-to-camper ratios of 1:1 or 1:2 ensure every camper is understood, supported, and celebrated.     This role blends office-based work with plenty of time outdoors, in the gym, and in other recreational settings — where it can be loud, warm, and sometimes a little smelly. ASNC provides the tools needed for a comfortable office workspace and will help identify what's needed to succeed in camp's outdoor and recreational environment. The culture values innovation, inclusivity, and a positive attitude, with team-building and social events throughout the year.      What You'll Do  Shape the Camp Experience  Bring vision and creativity to camp programming — building the annual calendar, overseeing the design and implementation of engaging activities, and serving as the primary point of contact for parents and guardians.  Lead and Develop Your Team  Supervise a team of full and part-time staff. Design and deliver comprehensive staff training covering behavior management, safety protocols, and daily operations — setting your team up to succeed and campers up to flourish.  Drive Financial Health  Partner on annual budget planning, oversee fiscal management year-round, and keep programs aligned with revenue goals. Collaborate with the Development team to nurture relationships with current and prospective donors.  Recruit and Grow Our Community  Lead staff recruitment and hiring to meet key benchmarks, while promoting camp programs to attract participants, staff, interns, and volunteers alike.  Collaborate Across the Organization  Work cross-functionally with departments throughout the organization to keep camp operations running smoothly and in sync with broader organizational goals.  Oversee Property and Facilities  Partner with property staff on ongoing maintenance, facility improvements, and event setup — helping shape a camp environment that's safe, welcoming, and built to last.  Manage Administrative Operations  Collaborate with HR on employee matters and oversee camp program registration, ensuring smooth operations behind the scenes.   What You Bring  A Bachelor's degree from a four-year college or university related to developmental disabilities, plus at least 4 years of supervised experience working with individuals with autism  OR 2 years of supervisory experience in a residential camp setting, plus 4 years of supervised experience in a similar setting serving people with autism    Ready to lead a team, build community, and create unforgettable experiences for campers and families? We'd love to meet you.
