They are both educators and have taught children in pre-school, elementary, middle, high school, and college.

Jerry is active in the local community, serving on the boards of many local charitable organizations.

Among North Carolina camps Rockbrook is known for its leadership. Our senior staff members and directors have extensive experience in education, child development, and experiential programs. The majority of our seasonal staff have been associated with Rockbrook in the past, as either former campers or counselors. This experience, coupled with further orientation and training, help us provide an excellent staff. Our leadership and entire staff are conscious of their position as role models for our campers, and look forward each summer to offering a meaningful summer experience.
