Rockbrook 2026

My name is Anna Claire, and I just recently graduated from the University of Georgia! I graduated with a degree in psychology and will be attending dental school next fall! This will be my 14th summer at camp, and I am so excited to be on the Middler Line! My favorite place at camp is the Junior Lodge porch because it has the best views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and evening sunsets. My goal as a counselor is to encourage my campers to explore all that camp has to offer, whether that be trying a new activity or going on an out-of-camp adventure! My personal favorite activities at camp are climbing the alpine tower and riflery! I continue returning to Rockbrook each summer because of the lifelong friendships and the supportive and carefree environment! Outside of camp, I enjoy playing pickleball with my friends and trying new restaurants in Athens!

Hello! My name is Mary Ruth Gardner, I’m from New Orleans, Louisiana. I’m very excited to be attending The University of the South in the fall. After a busy senior year, I’m looking forward to spending my summer back in the heart of the mountain at Rockbrook, a place that has been such an important part of my life since I was a camper myself.

At camp, I love spending time by the lake, writing letters on the porch of Goodwill, taking a hike up to Castle Rock, and enjoying the fun, carefree spirit of camp life. Rockbrook brings people together in such a warm and welcoming way, and I can’t wait for another wonderful summer with friends old and new!

Hey! I’m Jinnette, and I’m from Raleigh, North Carolina. I have been a camper at Rockbrook for 5 years and I’ve been looking forward to my first year on staff! My favorite camp activities include the rafting trips, making candles in Folklore, and simply meeting new people. What draws me to the Rockbrook community is the inclusive, kind, and fun environment that doesn’t compare to anywhere else. I’m so excited to be back in the RBC community and bring campers an amazing experience. I love camp!

Hey There Hi There!!! And welcome to Rockbrook!!!! I am so beyond excited to meet each and every one of you for another INCREDIBLE summer in the heart of the wooded mountains!!! My name is Sammy, and I am from Needham, MA, a little bit outside of Boston. I will be starting at Davidson College in North Carolina this fall as a public health and history major on a pre-law track. This is my 8th summer at Rockbrook, and I love everything about camp! You can find me hanging out on the porch of the junior lodge with my campers(Shout out junior line), down by the lake in a white water kayak, dressing up in the craziest costumes I can find, hiking to Castle Rock, or doing whatever amazing camp activity is planned for that day.

I am so grateful Rockbrook stumbled into my life almost 10 years ago, and I could not ask for a better place to spend my summers. My best advice is to come ready to embrace all aspects of the experience, get dirty, jump in the chilly lake, sing loudly, and find yourself among the nature and incredible friends at Rockbrook. I am so excited to meet all of you, and if you ever need a pep talk, a long walk, or a running buddy, I am your gal!

Hey everyone !! My name is Kate, and this will be my first summer at Rockbrook, as well as my first time in the US! I’m from Portsmouth, a city by the sea in the south of England, and I am currently in my first year of uni at Bristol 🙂 I spent my childhood reading, playing netball and paddle boarding on the sea – all of which are still my favourite things to do now !! I love any sort of adventure – from volunteering at a turtle conservation centre in Borneo to travelling solo in Australia or hiking in the Breacon Beacons, but I’m sure that this summer at Rockbrook will be the best adventure yet 🙂

Hey there! Hi there! My name is Christine and I’m so excited to be back at camp this summer. I grew up in Bluffton, SC and recently graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Civil Engineering with a minor in Geology. At camp, I can usually be found at the riflery range, in the lake, frolicking on the hill, or singing in the dining hall. Rockbrook has been a very special place to me and I can’t wait to spend some more time in the heart of a wooded mountain before start a job working in the construction industry come August.

Hi, I’m Aubrey and this will be my 7th year at camp! I am so excited to spend another summer in the mountains away from the New Orleans heat, and I cannot WAIT to bring some spirit to celebrate the Mardi Gras theme day with my campers!!! I just graduated from Emory’s Oxford College with my Associate’s degree, and where the close-knit community reminds me of camp! I’ll be moving to the Atlanta campus this fall to continue my next two years studying chemistry.

At camp you can find me in the upper pottery studio, joining my campers for mermaid laps or doing fairy hair by the lake, reading a book on a lodge porch, or making a bracelet on the hill! Rockbrook is where I’ve learned to be my truest self, and I’m looking forward to another summer of frolicking on the hill, singing in the dining hall, seeing familiar faces, and meeting new friends!

Hellooooooo! My name is Adriana and I’m super excited for my first summer at Rockbrook 😀

I’m from Phoenix, AZ where the summers can get quite brutal so I’m excited to escape that heat for the summertime. For me the opportunity to get to work and live in the very special and unique environment at camp feels like a privilege. To live a bit old-school during this time.. disconnecting from the noise of the outside world & cell phones and where we can be present and reconnect with the world and people around us instead. SO excited just thinking about it, I’m looking forward to all the memories, connections, and adventures!

Hi!! My name is Campbell, and this will be my 8th summer at Rockbrook! This is my first summer back since being a camper, and I could not be more excited to come back to my happy place. I am from Raleigh, North Carolina, and just finished my freshman year at the University of Pittsburgh, where I am majoring in Media and Communications & Museum Studies. I have made so many friends here, and I’m so excited to see some again this summer. Some of my favorite places to be are by the creek, any of the lodge porches, Castle Rock, or on a hike. Camp is such an amazing place, and I can’t wait to be there again and meet more lifelong friends!
