Rockbrook girls kayaking! Here’s a photo we found the other day of a kayaking trip we think is from the 1990s. It’s true; whitewater kayaking trips on local rivers (like the Nantahala) have been a part of our whitewater program for more than 20 years. Even now, we’ll take out a few [...]

This week we had a marathon whitewater rafting event. Over three days, we took almost a hundred campers whitewater rafting down the Nantahala river. Rockbrook is one of only two summer camps that have a Forest Service permit to raft this river, so we are able to take full advantage of it using our [...]

Last night was the overnight rafting trip for the middlers and seniors, and I had the opportunity of tagging along! It turned out nothing like I expected!
The beginning of the trip was fairly normal. We ate breakfast, hopped on the road, and were way excited for a great time! When we arrived, we lathered on [...]
“The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost. The Minnow would be lost. The ship’s aground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle. With Gilligan, the Skipper too, The Millionaire and his wife, a movie star, the Professor [...]
