Columbia SC Girls Summer Camp Party

This week we took the new Rockbrook slide show down to Columbia, South Carolina, for a visit with a great bunch of campers, both girls who have already attended RBC and friends who are interested in attending next summer. We really enjoyed seeing everyone. And what a treat to make s’mores! It’s always so fun for us to see our Rockbrook girls, and to help new families learn what makes RBC such a special girls summer camp.

That’s Amanda, Katie, Anna, Virginia, Margo, Lauren, Betsy, Tillman, Lawton, Amelia, Carey, Mary Clyde, Annie. And thanks to Marjorie Ann and Burgess for hosting the party!

North Carolina Boys Camps

Parents sometimes ask us to recommend a summer camp for boys, a place where the brother of a girl attending Rockbrook can go for camp. There are many great boys camps to choose from, but two are very close to RBC— Camp Carolina and Camp High Rocks. Both offer quality programs similar to the one at Rockbrook Camp for Girls.

Here are links to their sites:

Camp High Rocks

Overnight Camp Hiking Trips

Imagine what it’s like eating lunch at over 6000 feet! Here’s an overnight camp backpacking group doing just that on Tennent Mountain in the Pisgah National Forest. At 6040 feet high, it’s one of the highest mountains in the Northeast! What a great trip.

Rockbrook Camp circa 1961

Here’s another glimpse into Rockbrook’s past. It’s a page from the camp’s catalog in 1961. Even 45 years later, outdoor cooking is still a favorite!
