Summer Camp History

Here is a glimpse into Rockbrook Summer Camp history. A family here is Brevard, the Tuckers, who are related to the Carriers, who founded Rockbrook back in 1921, found a stack of old camp photos and passed them along to us. Some certainly show their age, but there are so many fascinating shots of what camp was like in the past. This is a good example showing the original uniforms the girls wore. Amazing!

Summer Camp Information

Here’s something cool— it’s the cover page from the 1925 camp catalog. Rockbrook’s first summer was in 1921, so this is very early in the history of the camp. You can see the founders listed right there on the bottom: Nancy Clarke Carrier and Henry Carrier, her husband. No doubt the photo is a canoeing trip on the French Broad River at the foot of camp.
