Is it possible to have “too much summer camp?” According to Abby Brunks, in her recent Atlanta Journal Constitution article, the answer might be yes. Ms. Brunks fears that being at summer camp can become an extension of the busy, overly scheduled life most kids experience throughout the school year. She believes [...]

What could be better than a quick swim at camp? At Rockbrook kids have lots of chances to jump in the lake. In addition to signing up for swimming as one of their camp activity periods, girls can come for a swim at two different “free swim” times— right before lunch and right [...]
