Hi, I’m Margaret Lyle, and I’m so excited to be back at Rockbrook for First Session as Camper Support Specialist! I was a First Session camper for seven summers, from Junior Hill to the High-Up Palace, and I loved every minute of it. Later, I returned as a CIT and counselor for many summers, and after college I spent seven years working full-time at camp as both a Program Director and Director. Over the years, I’ve loved coming back for visits, and most recently I served as a Camp Mom/Aunt during Third Session in 2023 and 2024.
I’ve just completed my 21st school year at Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, VA where I’ve worn many hats, most recently serving as Service Learning and Admission Experience Coordinator. I truly credit Rockbrook with helping me discover my love of working with young people and giving me the skills and confidence to pursue that calling.
One of my favorite things about camp is the magic and silliness of it all — the feeling that you can be anyone, do anything, and completely be yourself. I find joy in life’s little moments, and can’t wait to be a part of the magic that makes Rockbrook so special!
