Overnight Warm Line Counselor Jobs in Raleigh, NC

Camp Royall Director  

Make an impact. Lead with purpose. 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.
