1921-2026
2026 Rockbrook Alumnae Reunion
Calling all Rockbrook Alumnae!ย Join us this August 21-23 in the Heart of a Wooded Mountain to celebrate Rockbrook’s 105th birthday! Come spend a fabulous weekend in the mountains of North Carolina rekindling your camp memories and friendships.
Since 1921, when Nancy Carrier welcomed her first girls to Rockbrook, it’s been a haven for everyone, a special place of support and encouragement.ย The spirit of Rockbrook has touched thousands of lives over the years.
It’s time to recognize Rockbrook’s rich history. It’s time to revisit the scene of your girlhood dreams. It’s time for a camp alumnae reunion!
This is your chance to:
- Reconnect and laugh with old and new camp friends and sing your favorite camp songs.
- Hike to Castle Rock and Rockbrook Falls, and explore the natural beauty of camp.
- Jump off the diving board and ride the water slide at the lake.
- Listen to the frogs and crickets at night, and smell the nighttime mountain air.
- Make a friendship bracelet and roast a perfect marshmallow over a campfire.
- Climb the Alpine Tower and take a wild ride on a zip line.
- Learn more about the Rockbrook’s amazing 105-year history.
- Experience a bit of camp life all these years later.
Come Celebrate!
This reunion event brings Rockbrook alumnae together at camp for limited activities, meals, celebrations, and camaraderie while reconnecting with old friends and enjoying time at Rockbrook.

Registration fees are $350 for the weekend, $150 for Saturday only, and $50 for Sunday afternoon. We want everyone to be able to join us, so if the cost is a barrier, please reach out about scholarship options.

Questions!
We know you probably have several questions about the reunion weekend. While some planning is still in motion, here are a few answers and the nitty-gritty! Please let us know if you have other questions not included here.
What will we be doing at the reunion?
The reunion is an opportunity for adults who attended Rockbrook as a child, or who worked at Rockbrook, to return to camp and enjoy a few days reconnecting with camp friends, soaking in the camp setting, and celebrating the 105 years of Rockbrook’s history. The weekend will provide a good balance of time to relax, to socialize, to eat well, and to enjoy traditional camp activities. We hope the reunion will strengthen the Spirit of Rockbrook for everyone who attends.

Yes! We will provide all the meals and plenty of snacks throughout the day. Rick Hastings, Rockbrook’s longtime chef, will devise a menu that will accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free preferences.
What else is included?
Everyone attending will receive a special reunion t-shirt, plus a surprise Rockbrook reunion memento.
What about staying at camp in the cabins?
Yes, later in the summer we will provide more information about staying at camp, along with a way to reserve a space in particular cabins. We will do our best to accommodate your request!
Where can I stay nearby in Brevard?
There are various hotels, bed and breakfasts, resorts, and short-term rental options in our area. We list many on these local accommodations on our Web site.
Are alcoholic beverages allowed?
Yes, we will allow alcoholic beverages during the adult-only portion of the reunion (not during the Sunday afternoon “Family Time”). BYOB, but please be respectful of everyone’s camp experience and consume alcohol responsibly and discretely.
Can someone from Rockbrook pick me up at the airport?
No, sorry, we are unable to provide transportation to or from camp for the reunion. We suggest you reach out to a camp friend who is driving and try to coordinate your travel plans.
Can I bring my spouse who did not attend camp at Rockbrook?
No, the Rockbrook Alumnae Reunion on Friday and Saturday is restricted to adult Alumnae of Rockbrook. Alumnae of all ages and their family members (yes, including children!) are welcome to attend on Sunday afternoon.
What does the “family time” on Sunday entail?
Registering for the “family time” allows Alumnae to enjoy camp with their non-alumnae family members. There will be a mid-day Sunday brunch and then opportunities in the afternoon to swim in the lake, hike the Rockbrook trails, and enjoy a few camp activities.
Further Questions?
Please reach out to us if you have any other questions about the reunion. We’d love to hear from you!
