Tonight was birthday night at camp, but a few girls were heading out for an overnight backpacking trip and would have to miss the celebration back at camp. Rather than go without, however, Jessi made arrangements to bring a few party things with the hiking group. Yep, they had their own birthday party [...]

It was super hero day today at Rockbrook. We all came up with our own versions of super-heroism and dressed the part! Talk about creativity… it was amazing. There were lots of “Super Girls” and other “Incredibles,” but here’s a great shot of Whitney as “Feather Girl.” Her arch nemisis was [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

One of the many reasons I love coming to Rockbrook is all the different types of people I get to meet, from all over the world! In a typical day here, I talk to girls from France, Mexico, Hungary, and even the Czech Republic. It’s amazing to find out about all the different cultures that [...]

Another amazing trip we take while at camp is to Sliding Rock in the Pisgah Forest. Only a few miles from camp, we’ll take a whole group of girls over for a few trips down the natural water slide. It’s tons of fun! You walk to the top of the slide, sit [...]

“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 [...]

Residential overnight summer camps also provide a unique opportunity for children to interact with others both older and younger than they. At a girls camp like Rockbrook, younger girls benefit from seeing older girls interact and do so many challenging things (”Wow, she can do it!”), and our teenage campers learn important leadership skills [...]

Our counselors for this summer arrived yesterday for the start of our staff training week. More are on the way, but it’s very exciting to finally have everyone together at camp. We’ve got a really great bunch!
