Here’s a classic photo that’s been circulated around a bit. It’s girls enjoying a sunset view from the top of Castle Rock at camp. A girl at an overnight summer camp can look forward to some incredible sunsets, and when she’s in the mountains of western North Carolina, there are also amazing long-range [...]

There is a pest, a small insect native to Japan called the “hemlock woolly adelgid,” that is threatening the health of hemlock trees all across the eastern United States.

Being so close to Georgia, we always have a lot of Georgia girls attend Rockbrook, and you might guess that the city in Georgia that sends us the most girls is Atlanta. After that, Douglasville, Alpharetta, and Savannah are the next top Georgia cities. There really is a long tradition of girls from [...]

Kelsie Rae, our great counselor last summer, wrote to share this cool camp logo she designed for a class in college. We love the mountains and sun— just perfect for camp. But also the redbird, the Rockbrook summer camp emblem, is super cool. Thanks Kelsie!
Here’s a view of the other large prominent rock on the Rockbrook Camp property: Dunn’s Rock. This is looking across one of the riding rings back toward the main part of camp and up the hill to the rock. More so than Castle Rock, Dunn’s is famous. In fact, it is the site [...]

Thankfully, we were given a break from all of the intense [...]

Being at summer camp, one of the best activities for kids is hiking. In fact, even at home, taking a walk outside… maybe around the neighborhood or through the local park.. is a great way to spend part of your day. We’ve mentioned it before (and here), but playing outdoors, exploring the natural [...]

Here are just a couple of photos we took this week down at the Rockbrook barn. Spring has definitely arrived here in western North Carolina! Have you ever seen so many butter cups?
