Tennis always seems to be a popular sports activity at Rockbrook. Sure there are lessons and chances to have an instructor teach you more about how to be a better tennis player. Sure we have little tournaments (both singles and doubles) now and then. We can always improve our tennis skills like [...]

It looks like a crazy, intense game of Dodge Ball! All the balls, the teams, the people zooming around grabbing, ducking, weaving, jumping and of course laughing the whole time. Games and other activities like this are always fun down at the gym, and with a little creativity, it’s easy to think up [...]

Here’s a great outdoor game for kids to try… Dizzy Lizzy. It’s actually a relay, a game where two or more teams race each other while completing some challenging task or overcoming some kind of obstacle. In this case, members of each team line up and one by one run a ways out [...]

What is that thing?! Well, the kids at camp have named it “The Toy,” but it’s basically an aqua ropes-course, a climbing structure made of wood and rope suspended over the water on one side of the Rockbrook lake. The most popular game kids play on it is really challenging— you try to reach [...]

Something pretty great happened to me today, down at the lake in the mid-morning hours: I joined the 440 Club. In order to join this prestigious Rockbrook organization, you have to swim 100 laps across a certain distance in the lake, and once you complete those 100 laps (440 meters), you get to go to [...]

Galloping hooves woke up Rockbrook this morning as we were warned “The British are coming!” Then everyone walked out to the hill in their pajamas for flag raising. After a few songs, we all gathered donning our red, white, and blue for breakfast.
We enjoyed another sunny afternoon that was perfect for lunch on [...]

Yesterday, I was outside setting up tye-dye materials for class and I felt a raindrop on my head. The next thing I know, it starts pouring rain. All the outside activities met up in the dining hall to do rainy-day alternatives. It’s really not so fun getting rained out of your activity! In the dining [...]

Basketball! Dodgeball! Kickball! Four Square! Volleyball! And more versions of tag than you can count! There always seems to be some kind of gym sports camp game going on— counselors and campers running around and having fun in the Rockbrook gym. One of the best things to do [...]

Most Sunday afternoons at camp, we have an all-camp activity, a game or event where all of the age groups get together and play. Here’s an example where we split everyone up into three different teams (pink, blue and green!) and had different relay races… egg and spoon, leap frog, fill the cup, three-legged [...]
