Rockbrook 2023

Hi, I’m Aubrey, and this will be my 4th summer at camp and my first year on staff as a CIT. I’m from New Orleans, Louisiana, and I’m so excited to be back up in the mountains this summer! I love being at camp because the scenery is so beautiful and refreshing, so you can usually find me on the porch of a lodge reading or making bracelets! I love seeing familiar faces and meeting new people who make up our amazing camp community! My favorite part of camp is that there are so many opportunities to try new things like hiking, archery, riflery, and making lots of different crafts, and I can’t wait to get back into life at camp!

Hey! My name is Avery, I am 19 years old, and I’m from West Palm Beach, Florida. I just finished my first year at Rice University studying Mechanical Engineering. Fun fact about me: I’ve been a dancer my whole life! My favorite style is contemporary.
This will be my 7th year at camp and my 2nd year as a counselor. My favorite activity at camp has always been whitewater kayaking, and I’m so excited to lead it again this year! I’m also looking forward to taking on a new responsibility: helping the adventure staff with weekly rafting trips! Camp has been my happy place for so many years now, and I can’t wait for both new and old campers to experience it this summer.

Hi I’m Christella but I go by Mimi. I grew up in a small town, called Bitam, which is in Gabon. I speak three, but I would say four languages first. One is French, second Fang a little bit of my mom’s language, and English. When I came to America I was excited because I came to see my mama. So how I know about RockBrook is one of my sisters went there and she told me a lot about it, and that I should go. At first I was scared to go, but then she told me that I’m going to have a lot of fun and it’s a really nice camp. The first time I went there, I was very shy since it was my first time going to sleep away camp. I was like oh no there’s so many people there!  But by days and days I got used to it and I just had the best time of my life there. And I am so grateful that I went to Rockbrook.

I have lived in Brevard my entire life. I was a camper at Rockbrook and absolutely fell in love with it, as all campers do. I come from a big family so I love to be around people! I really enjoy introducing new experiences to children and seeing their reactions when they accomplish a task or learn a new skill!

Hey there, I’m Carly and this will be my first time working at camp. I am so excited to get to meet everyone and have the best summer together at Rockbrook. I am from a small rural town outside of Glasgow in Scotland, which I absolutely love although it does always rain. I live at home with my mum and dad and my two little sisters and my older brother who is planning to move to Australia very soon, so hopefully i will be able to join him out there one day. I am currently studying Tourism Management but am planning on going on to do primary education after. This will be my first ever time in the USA so i cant wait to see how great it is, and get to spend my summer at RBC.

Hi everyone! My name is Iris and I am so incredibly excited to be returning to camp for my 8th summer. I grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia, and started going to camp when I was 10 years old. My grandmother, mom, and aunt all went to Rockbrook, so I’ve been a part of the RBC family since before I was even old enough to attend it myself. Every summer, I would leave camp and practically on the car ride home start counting the days until I could return. My family still calls me “Camp Iris” when I’m particularly happy about something because it is recognized by everyone that I am absolutely happiest when I’m at Rockbrook. I love the unadulterated joy that the simplicity, freedom, and community at Rockbrook brings everyone there. I cannot wait to return this summer after a slight hiatus and spend 1st and 2nd session in my favorite place on Earth. I hope to inspire others to love this camp as much as I do and become their “Camp Selves!”

Hey y’all! My name is Blair and I am SO excited to be back at camp in a few weeks. This will be my 7th summer at RBC and my first year on staff as a CIT. I’m from Memphis, TN and am a rising senior in high school. Outside of school I love to go surfing at the lake, play volleyball, and make art! I also spend a lot of time singing along to my favorite Taylor Swift and Zach Bryan songs. My favorite thing about Rockbrook is how welcoming and enthusiastic everyone is. At camp you can usually find me making friendship bracelets on the hill or going down the water slide (it’s so refreshing!). I’m most excited to meet my campers, make new friends, and sing my favorite songs during meals!! See y’all so so soon!!!! 🥳

Hola! My name is Sara and I’m from Bogotá, Colombia. I couldn’t be more excited for my first summer at Rockbrook, this would be my second time in the states and out side of Colombia! I’m currently studying digital story telling in Colombia where I live with my family, including my identical twin. I’m drawn to all things natural and fun so camp seemed like the obvious choice for me! I hope to bring a little bit of my culture and contagious personality to camp, as well as a lot of incredible memories for everyone! See you soon everybody!

Hi, I’m Katie, and I can’t wait to meet all of you at Camp this summer. I am from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and have never attended a summer camp. I will be working as part of the outdoors team, mainly focusing on kayaking.

I have been kayaking for over six years. And currently, I paddle as part of the Great British wild water team. This has led to me travelling around the world, paddling different rivers, and I’m very excited to paddle some new rivers in North Carolina and share my love for kayaking with you all. Unfortunately, I will be joining camp a little later due to competing at the World Championships in Germany.

I can’t wait to get to camp, meet many new people, and make new friends!!
