“Rockbrook is a haven.
Well, that’s how it feels to me.
The crystal streams, the endless sky,
The tall and leafy trees…
I love the beauty of this place,
And all the things to do,
Like riding, swimming in the lake,
And climbing towards the blue.
Camp’s the best time of the year,
But the days - they just fly by!
Before long we’re at [...]

It’s on the way! …This year’s Carrier Pigeon, Rockbrook Camp’s summer “yearbook” has just been mailed out to all of our campers. It’s bigger and better than ever this year.

It’s so much [...]

Dance continues to be one of the more popular summer camp activities we offer at Rockbrook. The stone “Lakeview Lodge” (shown in this picture) is set up for dancing— one wall with mirrors, a good smooth wood floor, and plenty of space to move around in. Girls love it because no matter how [...]

What’s the pottery program like at Rockbrook Camp?
It’s fantastic! There are two different pottery studios at camp, each with work tables for hand building (using coils, slabs, and pinch techniques) and potter’s wheels for learning how to make wheel-thrown pots. No matter what their level of experience, campers can make all sorts of bowls, [...]

Kelsie Rae, our great counselor last summer, wrote to share this cool camp logo she designed for a class in college. We love the mountains and sun— just perfect for camp. But also the redbird, the Rockbrook summer camp emblem, is super cool. Thanks Kelsie!

Rockbrook has its own “Girls on the Run” program in the summer. If you’re not familiar with it, Girls on the Run is a national program (with individual local chapters) that helps girls “develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running.” Did you know that Charlotte, one of Rockbrook’s former directors, is one of [...]

This is the time of year when we start announcing our summer camp jobs. Each summer part of our camp staff return to be counselors, trip leaders, and activity instructors, but we also accept applications from new people who would like to work at camp. With 200 girls at camp each session, we [...]
Posted in Tennis on Dec 12th, 2007
Tennis is one of the traditional sports we play at Rockbrook. It’s another summer camp activity that just fits perfectly. When you get out on a clay court surrounded by big trees (rather than a big slab of asphalt out in the wide open), get to goof around with your friends, and probably [...]

There’s something really special about spending most of your time outdoors. When you’re a girl who goes to school all day, rides around in a car between things, and maybe lives where the weather is a little “tough” most of the time, it’s a rare thing to be outside. Because it’s so rare, [...]
