Hi!!! I’m sooooooo excited to work at camp again this summer! When I was first a camper 10 years ago, camp quickly became my favorite place in the world. I loved that I could explore so many new activities (my favorites were hodge podge, paddling, and climbing) and spend so much free time outside in the mountains. And most of all, I loved that could easily make friends in a place where everyone is loved and supported. My favorite part about being a counselor last year was being able to create the magic that made me fall in love with camp for so many young campers. At free swims or twilight, you can find me making a bracelet on the junior lodge porch or reading on the hill. I’m so excited to see you all soon!

Hi everyone, I’m Clara from Berlin, Germany! That’s right, I’m flying all the way across the Atlantic just to be with you and create a wonderful summer together! For the past ten years, I’ve worked as a counselor at German summer camps that are nothing compared to Rockbrook! I can’t wait to meet you soon and get creative with you during art sessions, sing around the campfire, and have lots of fun and laugh together!

Back home, I work as an art and geography teacher. I love to travel and explore the world, especially through my camera. I am also vegan and love trying new recipes or going out to eat with friends. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and sometimes ask silly questions to understand the world.

I also smile a lot and am always up for a hug!
See you soon!

Hey there! I’m so excited to be returning to camp this year! I love all things theatre: acting, singing, dancing, playwriting, stage combat, and more. Some of my other hobbies include yoga, baking, and reading! Crocs are my shoe of choice at camp, and my favorite part of the day is evening program. My favorite thing about camp, without a doubt, is the community. I have always appreciated how much excitement the staff has for all things camp, and how welcome you feel as soon as you drive up the hill. You can usually find me on the porch of the Lakeview Lodge, in Curosty, or in the cabin playing cards. I can’t wait to show my campers all of my favorite spots, sing as loudly as we can in the dining hall, and spend lots of time together on cabin days! I am counting down the days until I can be back in the heart of the wooded mountain surrounded by nature and everyone’s smiling faces.

Hi everyone!! My name is Megan and I am elated to be returning to the heart of the wooded mountain for another summer! Camp is magical and full of so much love and kindness and that is what brings me back year after year. This summer, I am taking on a new role as Senior Linehead! Hooray! I cannot wait to meet all of the senior campers and be on the senior line all summer 🙂 I have been going to Rockbrook since I was 11. One of the best things I have found at camp is the love and encouragement we receive from each other that allows us to be our true selves and gain confidence each year. As a counselor, it is my goal to make sure my campers always feel supported, encouraged, and loved at camp. I cannot wait to connect with you all, sing together in the dining hall, eat muffins, and roll down the hill together! Yay camp!!

Hey y’all! I’m Faith and I’m super excited to be back with y’all for another year! Last year, you all brought me so much joy that I just had to come back! I can’t wait to sing at the table (since I finally know all the words!…most of the words), read on the hill (because Rockbrook re-awakened my love for reading), and make friendships bracelets (shoutout to my first session girls for teaching me!) with everyone! I love the fact that there’s always a smiling face, positive attitude, and opportunity to make great memories! I hope y’all are ready for flashmobs that will be better than ever and I can’t wait to see everyone soon!

Hi! I’m super excited to be attending Rockbrook this year as a CIT! I go to Providence School of Jacksonville and am a rising senior. I play lacrosse for my school and it was the first year that they had a women’s team which was super amazing to be apart of a startup. I also golf (as most Floridians do) but my knowledge on it is pretty basic. I love to hangout with friends, go to the beach, play with my dog Fiji, travel to neat places, go on day adventures, work on my non-profit, and especially go to camp. Camp has always been so special to me as it is a sisterhood full of amazing ladies who love to build each other up. I hope to help my campers have a great time, which won’t be hard at a place like this. I also hope to bring them many laughs and to be a rock for them while they’re here! I hope y’all’s girls have the amazing experience that I always have had and I’m so happy to be able to help facilitate that! I’m so excited for my transition from camper to staff as it has been my dream to be a counselor at Rockbrook since I was 7. I’m stoked to meet you all and see y’all shortly!

Hi y’all, I’m Lydia! I am an only child, I have two cats, and I’ve lived in Virginia for my whole life. I’ll be a senior in high school this fall. This is my first summer on staff at Rockbrook, though I’ve been coming as a camper since I was 9. Transitioning from being a camper to being a CIT is a huge full-circle moment for me. When campers arrive, I am so excited to show them all my favorite places at camp. Watching my campers find their favorite Rockbrook songs, foods, and events will be the biggest privilege since Rockbrook has given me so much. Can’t wait!!!
