Rockbrook’s Philosophy

At Rockbrook we believe a summer camp for kids should be both fun and formative, both exciting and supportive, both challenging and rewarding.

We believe young girls thrive best when encouraged to make decisions for themselves, to engage new physical and creative activities, and to develop meaningful friendships.

Rockbrook is a place for girls to explore nature, to learn new skills, and to develop a stronger sense of self.

Rockbrook is a traditional overnight summer camp for girls located in the mountains of western North Carolina. Established in 1921, Rockbrook continues to provide a diverse program of residential summer camp activities.

We believe a summer camp for kids should provide more than just fun and excitement. For this reason Rockbrook has a highly motivated and enthusiastic staff, offers a wide range of outdoor and creative activities, maintains a beautiful natural setting, and strives to encourage and support young girls as they explore new experiences.

As a girls summer camp, Rockbrook values the unique relationships formed in an all-girls environment. Without the distractions of the opposite gender, girls are generally more self-confident, supportive and open to forging lasting friendships. At Rockbrook, campers often recall their summer camp experiences as some of the most meaningful of their lives.
