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.
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!
There are several ways to stay fit while at camp. Among the many great staff perks RBC offers, the Early Bird Gym Membership is at the top of the list. RBC partners with the local gym to give counselors a great deal on a summer membership. AND, transportation is provided most week day mornings! [...]
Campers watch EVERYTHING you do and want to be just like you! To them, you are just beyond cool and they look to you for guidance on how to act in and out of camp. If you want happy campers (which for you means more sleep and less stress in the end), watch out for [...]

Even if you don’t wear tie-dyed shirts now, you will after working at RBC! It’s quite the fashion, along with Nifty-knitted hats and woven belts. At Rockbrook, being crafty is cool ;-)!
Brevard, the small town about 4 miles from RBC, is known for its fabulous summer street dances! It’s super-fun and anyone can join in. There’s live ol’ time music and people that actually know what they are doing to help new folks out. It’s a great way to spend a night off in town!

CIT’s are a vibrant part of the RBC community. They work with the counselors to help the campers have a great summer and they also get to know “Hobart,” our dishwasher machine, quite well because they are responsible for washing dishes! Here’s what Savannah Tally said [...]
Staff orientation isn’t just about going over rules and regulations, it’s also about having FUN! Here’s a picture Hally Joseph sent me from this summer’s trip the Lake Jocassee. Thanks Hally!
