Sewanee University Counselors

Frampton looking whimsical

Greetings from the road! Yesterday I visited Sewanee University and two of our great counselors Kathryn Frampton and Katy Kilgore. We had dinner together along with a few of their friends at their favorite hangout “Shenanigans.” Check out out recruiting scheudle tour to see when I’m in your area!

At Rockbrook, there are many components and benefits to being a counselor, but one that struck me in particular was found in these moments I captured. Everyday, many times a day, you see people supporting each other, in the most literal way possible. Your cabin co-counselor will hang with you at dusk to watch the sunset; your activity co-counselor will lend a companionable and friendly shoulder to peek over. Having this support is key to being able to experience these pure moments of existence that are inherent and a beautiful part of camp life.

Counselors Abroad

It looks like I’m not the only one that’s in the traveling mode! Eva Jorgensen-Graham, last year’s Senior Linehead, just emailed me from Venice, where she’s studying abroad with school for a few weeks. Kelly Gross-Bias is getting ready to study abroad in New Zealand and Australia and will be returning in April. Bon Voyage!

RBC Roadtrip

Hooray for Roadtrips!

It’s that time of year – time to start thinking about how you want to spend your summer! I will be hitting the road, and visiting several schools and towns to hang out with old counselors and meet potentially new ones. Check and see if I’ll be coming your way! Even if you don’t go to the school itself, we can arrange to meet somewhere close by. Call 828-884-6151 0r email me jessi @rockbrookcamp. com to set up an interview time.

Counselor Tip #4: Find a Friend!

Camp Love

Even though camp is a very friendly place and is, in fact, designed to support close friendships, it’s still important to take initiative and reach out to those around you. Finding at least one best bud can help ease the stress of camp.

All the Pretty Horses

Horseback riding is a favorite activity at RBC. Here’s a picture of our beloved Barn Director, Cara Thompson. We love you, Cara!

Singing Camp Songs

Everyone can sing at RBC!

Rockbrook girls love to sing! Mealtimes are filled with songs, clapping and hand motions. The “Hi-ups,” the oldest campers, are the ones that start them. Abby Petrozzi, 2008 counselor, informed me today that she sang a RBC song to her Masters’ in Teaching class! Once a camp counselor, always a camp counselor!

Bethany is Studying Abroad!

Veteran counselor Bethany Barton is studying abroad next semester in Ghana! She’ll be studying social work facilities and volunteering at orphanages among other things. Having experience as a counselor is sure to enhance this trip – go Bethany!
