CRF Establishes a Partnership with Autism Society of NC & Camp Royall

More great news! The Cooper Royall Foundation has officially established a partnership with the Autism Society of North Carolina and Camp Royall.

CRF will be funding two scholarships to support attendance at Camp Royall’s week-long Summer Camp.

Additionally, CRF is currently collaborating with Camp Royall leadership to envision, design, phase and help fund a robust Adaptive Play Zone to serve as a focal element of Camp Royall.

Stay tuned as we work to transform this space for the campers!

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 autism camp, serving thousands of people each year.

Camp Royall provides typical camp activities, in a structured environment to meet the needs of individuals with autism:

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, Family Camping, Mini Camps, Adult Retreats, Residential Camps and Day Camps during school breaks, Teen Retreats, and Teen Tuesday (social groups for teens).
