More comments and memories from a Rockbrook Alumna…
“Every memory is a favorite memory, but there was one that my friend and I do get a kick out of (by the way, her name is Natalie Berry and we have been best friends for 30 yrs). One year our cabin was one of the wild [...]

Long-time Rockbrook counselor Beth Dobson sent us this great old photo of some Rockbrook Girls.
“I was going through some old family photos yesterday and found a picture of my grandmother at RBC. I edited the photo to point out which girl is actually my grandmother. Beth Davies Allee Gruen was born in 1921, so this [...]

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, [...]

It’s one of those things we do at Rockbrook… at meals, on the bus heading to the river, during skits, and all together at assemblies… we sing camp songs! From the crazy and silly songs, like the “coconut song,” to the more serious and traditional songs, like “Rockbrook Camp Forever,” there are easily over [...]

We’ve been getting so many questions about it, we thought we’d send along a quick update about the Lakeview Lodge renovation going on. Rockbrook has three cool old stone lodges, one for each age group (Juniors, Middlers and Seniors). They were built back in the 1920s and have wooden floors, huge fireplaces, and [...]

Couldn’t resist sending along this article about our favorite local ice cream shop, Dolly’s Dairy Bar. It’s from the online edition of the Hendersonville newspaper, The Times-News. If you’ve been to Dolly’s, you’ll love the article and enjoy hearing some of the trivia it reports. For example, did you know that Dolly’s [...]

We’ve had our final closing spirit fire for the summer, and we can’t help but remember all of the wonderful parts of the summer. We’ve made so many amazing friends, seen so many beautiful places, and enjoyed so many fun activities. As we’re busy with everything each day, it’s easy to forget how [...]

Hey! I’m Katie Cheney, a C.A. counselor here at Rockbrook Camp, and something kind of sad happened at lunch today: we sang “[6] More Days Of Vacation”, a sly countdown of the days left at camp incorporated into a song, and I realized that we have only a week left. It’s never an easy feat [...]

It’s Wednesday at Rockbrook, and on Wednesdays, we do things a little differently. During the middle of the week we have a special day appropriately titled “Cabin Day,” for it is a time set aside to spend with your own cabin. Today, for example, middler cabins four and seven will be participating in an extreme [...]
