Rockbrook 2023

Hey there! I’m from Washington State and I go to school at NC State! I love people, and nature which makes Rockbrook the perfect place for me! I am excited to meet everyone and build relationships with some awesome kids! I am excited to learn new things, see new things, challenge myself, and grow! I can’t wait for this epic adventure!

Hello! I am originally from Kentuckiana (or Indyucky), the southern Indiana-Louisville, Kentucky border, but have been in Brevard now a little over a year. This will be my second year at Rockbrook and I’m happy to be “back”: I’ve loved my time spending the fall and spring cleaning up beds, planting and transplanting new flowers and plants, and bordering the gardens around camp. Last year I immensely enjoyed my time as a photographer, hiking around camp all day capturing campers’ smiling faces and all the beauty and fun of life on camp. This year I am excited to be one of the Needlecraft specialists, sharing my love for embroidery, creative mending, and any form of creativity with a needle and thread. When I’m not on the Curosty porch, you’ll find me admiring and identifying native plants and critters, pulling errant blades of grass from flower beds, refilling the bee and butterfly waterer, and sticking my feet in the creek.

Hello! My name is Emily and I’m from Cincinnati, Ohio. I just finished my second year of college at the University of Cincinnati, studying nursing. I love spending my free time outdoors and enjoying nature. Being outside has been a great way for me to connect with my friends and I am excited to bring that to camp. This will be my first year at Rockbrook and I am excited to get a lay of the land and meet everyone! I am looking forward to a great summer of quality time and meaningful connections.

My name is Olivia and I am from Columbus, Ohio! I am a third year at Ohio State studying Psychology and I hope to become an elementary school counselor in the future. This is my first year at Rockbrook as a counselor and I could not be more excited! I’ve never been to overnight camp before, but I was drawn to Rockbrook because they really stress the importance of healthy friendships and confidence in young girls. At camp, I hope to make new friends, slow down, and see the camp magic happen all summer!

Helloooooooooooo everybody! I’m beyond excited to be returning to Rockbrook this summer – it’s my favourite place on Earth! Rockbrook has been a second home to me since I was 8 years-old and continues to shape me as a person today. There is something unmistakably magical about the short time we get to spend together in the heart of a wooded mountain that leaves me and many others returning year after year.

One thing l’ve always loved about Rockbrook’s caring community is that it has a special place for everyone who rolls up the driveway on opening day, and soon enough, we all feel like family. Nothing makes me happier than seeing campers radiate joy and be their silliest selves in such an uplifting environment! I’m honoured to be a part of this magic and I can’t wait to meet you all soon. You can likely find me on the front porch of the office doing fairy hair or giving out some glitter, so come say hi!

Hi all! I’m Emma McClure and l’m originally from Georgia but now live in Knoxville, TN. I’m currently attending Montana State, studying nutrition. This will be my 10th year at rbc! I took a break since Covid so it will be my first year as a counselor! I had such sweet and influential counselors growing up, I can’t wait to share the Rockbrook experience with my campers.
See y’all so soon!!

Hello my name is Anna. This is my first year at Rockbrook and I am so excited. I am from New Hampshire and I am getting my college degree in Biology. I love archery and arts and crafts. I’m so excited for camp!!

Hey y’all! My name is Katherine and I’m from Charlotte, North Carolina. I’ve always loved the North Carolina mountains, from spending all my school breaks at my grandparents’ house in Boone to my eight wonderful summers as a camper at RBC and I’m so excited to be making the transition from camper to staff as a CIT this year! At camp I’m always sitting in the NC summer sunshine by the lake with a book, hanging out and helping down at the barn, or doing some kind of craft on the Needlecraft porch.

Hey! I’m Arianna, I’m 20, and I’m from Brazil. I’m a business major and I went to Western Carolina University for a semester to do an exchange program, and now I’m spending the summer in Brevard. I’ve never worked on a camp before, so I’m really excited and I can’t wait! I enjoy spending my time painting, and photographing.

Hi friends! My name is Naomi and I am excited to be back for my 5th summer at Rockbrook! I have worked as a counselor, a Fiber Arts activity specialist, and this year I will be an assistant director. I am originally from Louisville, KY but have been living in Brevard for over a year now. Rockbrook is such a special place to me, namely for the community of supportive, loving, and spirited individuals that love it just as much as I do. It is here you will develop meaningful friendships, connect with nature, potentially discover a new hobby (it’s where I learned to weave), and learn something new and wonderful about yourself.

At camp you can find me admiring all the flora and fauna, making a potholder on the hill, enjoying all of Rick’s delicious meals, and no doubt doing something silly. I am so grateful to be here for another joyful summer in this magical, wooded fairyland. I hope I can be a part of making your time at Rockbrook nothing but fun! Can’t wait to meet y’all!
