The other day someone asked about our camp philosophy. We’ve written about it on the “Our Philosophy” page of Rockbrook’s main website, and that page does a good job, but what else should we say? Well, another way to put it is to recall how camp is such a fun and nurturing environment, [...]

Just a funny photo to share here… This shows some of the most popular footwear at camp. For kids, youth and girls, this is the way to go, and since it’s summer, you want something cool, something that can get wet even. As you can see Crocs are definitely a big hit, but [...]
