Summer Camp Book Series

Have you had a chance to read the summer camp book series Summer Camp Secrets by Rockbrook alumna, Katy Arbuckle Grant?  They are loosely based on her time spent at Rockbrook and are a wonderful read!  Those of us who have spent time in the heart of a wooded mountain will feel right at home in Katy’s books.

The latest in the series is called Summer Camp Secrets- Fearless. The story centers around the horseback riding program at Camp Pine Haven.  The main character Jordan is eager to learn to jump on a horse and try lots of other new things.  That is one of the things we feel that make camp so special!

Katy’s books can be found online on her website at www.katygrant.com

Thanks for sharing such wonderful camp stories Katy!

Rockbrook Memories Book

The inside cover of Rockbrook Memories by Mary Thompson

We have a wonderful book in our camp archives called Rockbrook Memories by Mary Bissell McIver Thompson.  It was published in 1968 and is filled with stories about the early days at camp.  It is fascinating to read all of the stories and realize that Rockbrook has not changed much at all!  There was singing, polar bear, fun activities, skits, a ringing bell and of course fantastic friends.  Sounds familiar doesn’t it?  We hope to reprint this wonderful treasure and have it available for the new generations of campers to enjoy.
