Following our recent posts on Castle Rock and Dunn’s Rock, the two big granite outcroppings on the Rockbrook kids camp property, we can’t neglect to talk about rock climbing because we have such great opportunities to climb right here at camp. There’s so much rock so accessible from camp, it’s easy to get excited about [...]

Saw this series of sketches over at the New Yorker and thought they were funny. Of course, none of the critters exist at Rockbrook, but they’re fun to imagine nonetheless.

Here’s an activity that’s become increasingly popular this summer— painting and drawing.

I distinctly remember walking towards the hill yesterday and hearing Jeff and the [...]

What do you eat when you go to a kids summer camp like Rockbrook? Well, it’s not all dessert like this , but we serve all sorts of “kid-friendly” meals… everything from pizza, to burgers, to pasta, and (our personal favorite) tacos. There’s always a vegetarian entre option, and during lunch two [...]

Speaking of canoeing, it’s still a summer camp activity we offer at Rockbrook. Like most of the adventure activities, we have a progression where kids first learn basic skills and safety procedures, and then move up to more challenging aspects.
