Rockbrook 2023

I’m originally from Tennessee, but I currently live in Columbia, South Carolina, where I’m in nursing school. At home, I love spending time with my two Great Danes. When I’m not with them, I enjoy crocheting, being with my friends, and trying a million different hobbies.

This will be my fourth year at Rockbrook and second year on staff, and I’m so excited to be back! I’ve been to several camps over the years, but I always end up coming back to Rockbrook. Camp holds such a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to be back this summer!

Hey there, hi there! I’m Sophie, and I’m so excited to be back at Rockbrook for my 8th summer. I am an Anthropology major with minors in Music and French at WashU in St. Louis. Outside of class, I sing with an a cappella group called the Mosaic Whispers and compete on the quiz bowl team. My past campers can tell you that I’m a big fan of friendship bracelets and singing with great enthusiasm during meals. I can’t wait to meet you all in the heart of a wooded mountain… see you soon!

Hey there, hi there! I’m Zoe and this will be my 6th year at camp but my first on staff! I will be a CIT this summer and am so excited to see you all! I’m from Hiram, GA and I spend most of my time in band, reading, watching a new show, or soaking up some sun. I love being at camp not only because the food and activities are amazing, but the community at camp is so fulfilling! I can’t wait to meet some new people, make new friends, and eat plenty of muffins! So excited to meet you all so soon!! ⛰️🙌❤️

Hi y’all! My name is Eliska and I can’t WAIT to get back to Rockbrook this summer. This will be my 9th summer at RBC – seriously camp is my absolute favorite place in the entire world. I am from Birmingham, Alabama and I just finished my freshman year at Sewanee. I am an economics major and plan to minor in either environmental studies or anthropology. At camp you can almost always find me spending some rockin’ time at the archery range, chilling with the lovely lovely juniors, or reading on the hill. I’m beyond pumped to get to spend the summer with all of you beautiful people!!

Brevard is my home now and I have over a decade of experience in camp nursing. I love the comraderie, the outdoors and nurturing our kids. Camp life truly makes memories and allows our youth to grow beyond their familiar front yards. I myself still have a best friend I met at camp when I was twelve, so yes, lasting friendships can happen!

Hey there, hi there! This will be my tenth summer at camp, and my third year on staff! You will most always find me at the lake or in line for muffins! I always love seeing familiar faces, but there is nothing like making new friends and watching campers make the lasting friendships that I have cherished.

Hello, my name is Sylvia Grace! I am a junior psychology major at The University of Southern Mississippi. That is located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, but I am originally from Starkville, Mississippi! While I love Mississippi, I am so excited to get to call North Carolina home for the summer!

A little about me is that I am SO excited to come to camp this summer and meet everyone! I love photography, reading, baking, being outdoors, and spending time with friends!

Hi friends! My name is Christiana Ricci, but everyone at camp calls me Chris. This will be my second year as a counselor, but third year at RBC overall. I can’t wait to be back jumping in the freezing lake, helping at the barn and screaming camp songs at the top of my lungs. I graduated from the University of Central Florida last May majoring in Journalism and Legal Studies. I recently found out I have been accepted into law school in Boston, so Rockbrook will be my “last hoorah” before I am stuck in a library all semester! My favorite things about camp life are being immersed in nature, reconnecting with the younger versions of myself and befriending all the campers. Last summer, I made countless memories and friends, and I can’t wait to make even more!

Was it chance or fate that brought me to Brevard, NC in the heart of a wooded mountain? We may never know! My journey began with Rockbrook in the summer of 2006 as a camper. This led me to be here today for my 10th SUMMER as the Staff Director!

Whether camper, counselor, Riding Staff, or in my new role as the Staff Director, I have always had a passion for the outdoors and a sense of community. And boy, does Rockbrook fit the bill! Camp life provides the simple joys in life we all crave, the adventures and room to grow we all need and the haven we all deserve! I am proud to be a Rockbrook Girl!

In the words of my favorite Rockbrook song, I hope to bring to our community additional “ginger, grit, spirit, wit, sunshine, and pep!”

Hi there! I may look a little different but I’m part of staff too! My name is Felix, and I’m Rockbrook’s camp dog! I’m 5 years old, but if you are around for second session, you’ll get to celebrate my 6th birthday with me! Some of my favorite things to do at camp are checking out trashcans for muffin wrappers, hanging out at the kitchen door, and “lifeguarding” at the lake! Well, I’m actually kind of a scaredy-cat when it comes to swimming. Speaking of muffins, I LOVE food. And trash. I know lots of tricks and will gladly do one for a treat! But my waistline would appreciate it if you didn’t feed me any food except treats given to you by a director. I’m a little shy at first, but once I warm up to you, I will be your best friend! You can find me hanging out with Sarah, taking a nap on the porch of the office, or running by with the Rockbrook Runners! I can’t wait to see you this summer,
Felix 🐾
