Shaving Cream Fight!!!
It’s true; there’s really nothing quite like a summer game of 50 kids and teens running around tryng the cover each other in shaving cream. Not really many rules to the game, but it won’t be long, and you’ll be laughing your head off. Spraying, sculpting, smearing— your hair will be [...]

Another activity that was particularly popular this summer with our older, teen campers was whitewater kayaking. It’s just a lot of fun to learn how to maneuver those play boats. You put on all your gear… spray top, PFD, helmet, grab your equipment… paddle, spray skirt, and boat, and you’re ready for some [...]
Archery is another huge hit with the kids at Rockbrook this summer. Girls really enjoy learning about archery at summer camp. There’s something classic about it. Nocking an arrow, pulling the bow, taking a breath, holding still, and releasing the arrow toward the multi-colored target. Of course, we’re aiming for the [...]
