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!

Hello all! My name is Lilah. I am from Asheville, NC and now live in Boulder, CO. I was lucky enough to attend Rockbrook for a few years as a kid. It was so special that I now feel drawn back to it as an adult! At camp I loved pottery, riflery, and looking for critters in the creek. I am so excited to be back in the mountains I grew up in surrounded by such a wonderful community this summer!

Howdy Rockbrookers! My name is Eva and this will be my 15th year here in the heart of a wooded mountain. I’m so excited to be hanging out all summer long as the Middler Linehead! You can definitely find me channeling my inner Robin Hood down at the archery range or munching on muffins on the hill this summer. I hail from the good ole town of Brevard, NC, and I am a rising senior at Davidson College. Camp has always been a magical source of joyful song and endless laughter throughout my life, and I can’t wait to spend time under the hemlock tree on Hikers’ Rock making a fairy house or singing Oh I Was Born at the top of my lungs as I race down the slide. I can’t wait to meet so many new friends this summer and reconnect with all the old ones too! Looking forward to walking with purpose across the hill to greet you all!!
