Jane and Stephanie

Sometimes when you make friends at camp, you’ll see each other long after the summer is over. That’s exactly what happened when Jane from North Carolina took a trip with her family to Washington DC. While there, she took some time to visit her cabin mate and best camp friend Stephanie.

Stephanie’s dog Dottie (there is the photo) got in on the fun too.

What camp friends have you seen lately?

Lindsey in St. John

Just heard from Lindsey’s Mom:

“Lindsey traveled to St. John USVI after leaving Rockbrook where she learned to snorkel, spent some time Geocaching on the island, explored old sugar plantations, practiced Kung Fu with her Dad, and spent time exploring for sea shells! I believe Lindsey was so adventurous for our family trip to St. John because of confidence she gained at Rockbrook! She can’t wait to return next year! We are all addicted to Rockbrook and she’s taught us many songs that we sing in the car!”

So cool to see how a first grader’s first camp experience can really make a difference! Thanks!

Greetings From the Future!

Last week when Jessi and Mandy were in Orlando, they spent a day at the “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow” (or EPCOT) in the Walt Disney World Resort. We were all down in Florida last week for two different conferences: The Association of Independent Camps and the American Camp Association. These are annual events where camp professionals gather to explore issues relating to camp programs, staffing, health and safety, and youth development research. They are held in different cities each year, so part of the fun is exploring the local sights. Looks like Jessi and Mandy did just that!
