Hello hello! My name is Olivia and this will be my third summer at Rockbrook. I am from Columbus, Ohio and I have a bachelors degree in psychology from Ohio State. I just finished my first year of graduate school at Ohio State where I am studying counselor education on the school counseling track. I was a counselor my first summer at Rockbrook and transitioned to assistant director last year. I am excited for a fun few months in the mountains with my people! I came to RBC for adventure and opportunity, and I sure found it. Rockbrook has a community that I haven’t experienced anywhere else, and it is one of the few places where I can completely be myself. I love spending time on the hill with friends, sitting on a porch, swimming in the lake, and making pottery! I can’t wait to get the summer started and reconnect with the Rockbrook community!

I grew up in England in the countryside which has shaped who I am and my interests today. I absolutely love the outdoors and nature. My favourite activities to do outside are hiking, running, swimming and yoga. Rockbrook life draws me in with its community focus and chance to play outside! My mother is American so I grew up being able to visit and I love the Americas natural beauty and I can’t wait to spend time at Rockbrook immersed in it. I love to travel and have been to over 10 countries, my favourite was Peru in which I spent most of my timeout hiking.

Willa Felgenhauer

Hi there! My name is Willa Felgenhauer, and I am from Alexandria, Virginia. I just finished up my senior year of high school, and I am headed to Washington and Lee University in the fall. Every spring, I find myself counting down the days till my dad and I can once again complete the 8-hour drive down to the “heart of a wooded mountain” at Rockbrook. I was a camper here for 9 years, and this special place has shaped my character in more ways than I can count. This summer is my first summer on staff, and I hope to use my personal experiences from being a camper for so long to improve the experience of our campers! My main motivation for becoming a Rockbrook counselor is to give back to a community that has given me so much.

I’ve come to discover that one of the most underrated things about camp life is the impact a counselor can have on a camper’s experience and the memories of their weeks in the woods that they take away with them. I vividly remember each one of my counselors from all of my camper years, and I often think back to our time together — whether it be when a certain song comes on the radio, re-reading the book series they recommended, or teaching someone a trick they taught me in the lake. I hope to have the same positive impact on your girls! I want to help make camp a place where they can be themselves, try new things, and let go of the world outside. I promise to always be available to them (and to give incredible book recommendations). I am so excited to meet your campers and to communicate with you throughout the summer. See you soon!

Hey y’all! My name is Katherine, and I can’t wait to be back in the heart of the wooded mountain! I’m from Charlotte, NC, and just finished my first year at the College of William and Mary. I’m so excited to be back at RBC! At camp, you can find me reading in a sunny spot, swimming with my campers on a hot day, or down at the barn. When I’m not at camp, I love hiking, baking, and spending time with friends and family. I’m especially looking forward to singing songs in the dining hall, going on fun adventures with my campers, helping out with all things horseback riding, and meeting the silly, fun, wonderful campers and staff that make RBC so special. Camp has always been my home away from home, and I feel so lucky to return for summer eleven!

Hiya! My name is Bronwyn and I am so excited to be spending my first time at camp here! I grew up in Portsmouth, England and have just finished my Masters Degree in Theatre Directing. My past few years have been spent at University where I have been able to meet incredible people and grow massively in my confidence. This last year completely reignited my passion and love for the arts and theatre. Being able to spend all day working on drama projects and scripts was a dream. My journey though has led me to Camp Life and I am thrilled to be taking on this adventure!

I’m most excited about exploring a new beautiful area and making lots of incredible summer memories. I have heard a lot of talk about friendship bracelets and singing skills being a must so am brushing up on those before coming to camp. I cannot wait to take in the gorgeous backdrop that Rockbrook is based in and meet all other counsellors and campers.

Hey y’all! My name is Blythe, and I am so excited to return to Brevard for another Rockbrook summer! I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, and I just finished my third year at the University of Georgia. I’m currently studying social work and pursuing a minor in business. In Athens, you can usually find me exploring new coffee shops, walking with friends, or cheering on the football team in Sanford Stadium (GO DAWGS🐶❤️)!

I’ve been lucky enough to spend the past 13 summers at Rockbrook, and somehow each one is better than the last. As a camper, my favorite activity was always rock climbing, and I can’t wait to belay all of y’all on the Alpine Tower this year. When I’m not at the tower, you’ll probably find me splashing around in the lake with my campers or relaxing on the Senior Lodge porch. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be this summer’s Senior Line Head, and I can’t wait to reunite with past campers and meet so many new smiling faces. Rockbrook has shaped who I am in so many ways, and I’m beyond excited to help create that magic for others. Let’s make this the best summer yet!

Hey! My name is Nia and this is my second summer as a camp counselor at Rockbrook, and I couldn’t be more excited to be back. There’s something about camp the fresh air, the shared silliness, the new friendships that makes it feel like home. Camp is one of those rare environments where everyone gets to be fully themselves: curious, creative, and silly. I feel lucky to be part of that. I believe in gentle encouragement, big laughs, and a really good costume.

Hey there! I’m Della, all the way from sunny South Florida. Camp has been my home away from home for seven amazing summers and I can’t wait to be back in the magic of it all, reuniting with old friends and meeting tons of new ones. You’ll probably find me down at the lake lifeguarding, or teaching a roll! I’ve been kayaking since my camper days and I’m still totally hooked! I’m so excited for all the adventures, laughs, and the new memories that will be made in the heart of the wooded mountain!

Hey there, hi there! My name is Olivia, but most people at Rockbrook know me as OG- the initials of Olivia and Grape, a nickname that came to be during my time as a junior camper. Camp is a place to be authentic, silly, adventurous, and creative- being called OG reminds me to be each of those things every single day! I am so excited to be back at camp this summer to belay campers up the alpine tower, learn new bracelet patterns, sing my favorite songs, wear a different costume to each meal, and endlessly more. I can’t wait to greet new and old faces and see all the wonderful ways we will grow and learn together in the heart of the wooded mountain.
