I grew up in Fort Myers, FL and first attended Rockbrook at age 6. I had invited myself to a neighborhood info session and begged my parents to send me! I spent 12 consecutive summers at RBC, with my last year as a counselor before going off to college. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University, I was commissioned as an officer in the Navy and my free summers came to an end…until this year when I was able to return as a Camp Mom! Rockbrook has always been my happy place and I hope to help campers find that which makes it special to them.

Hi everyone!!! My name is MC and I’m so excited to be back at Rockbrook as Junior Linehead! This will be my tenth year at camp and the supportive community that encourages campers and counselors to be our most loving, silly, and confident selves keeps me coming back!

Some of my favorite memories at camp have been playing tetherball with my cabin and participating in the many camper-led clubs. I can’t wait for another summer filled with muffin breaks, camp songs, and twilight surprises!! Looking forward to sharing lots of Rockbrook cheer with new and returning friends!

I am Florida girl, through and through, but always loved the idea of camp. When I was little I used to watch the Parent Trap whenever it came on (not the Lindsay Lohan version)! I am so excited that I get to FINALLY go to camp! I have been nurse for 17 years and my husband is a nurse too! We live with our son and daughter (the reason I get to go to camp) and our dog, Buster. I currently teach nursing to future generations of nurses and love my job! When I am not working I like to read or watch TV, hang out with my family, and go to the beach (such a Florida thing to say).
