Hi everyone! I’m Julieta, originally from Monterrey, Mexico, but I recently moved to Guadalajara. This fall I’ll be starting my studies at the UAG in my country, where I’ll study Physical Therapy because I love the health and medical field. Before starting this new chapter, I’m so excited to spend my summer at Rockbrook!
One of the things I’m most excited about is meeting people from different places and sharing a little bit of my culture with the Rockbrook community. I’ve always loved activities that bring people together, whether that’s sports, art, music, or simply laughing with friends. I’m really excited to meet everyone, try new things, and just have a fun summer at camp. I know this experience is going to be something really special, and I can’t wait to be part of it!

Hey Hey! Guess who’s excited for camp? It’s me! My name is Amanda and I’m super excited to come back to Rockbrook for my 3rd year! I was born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico but I’ve lived in the states for 12 years and North Carolina for 9 of those. I just got back from London where I studied abroad this school year and I will be returning to UNC Charlotte this fall where I will be heading into my senior year. I love Rockbrook because it’s got such an amazing community of the most kind, welcoming, and silly people! There’s no place like it! I love the people, the mountains, the activities, pretty much everything and I’m counting down the days to be back!
Hey everyone! My name is Audrey and I am so excited to start working at Rockbrook! I live in a small town in Waverly, Alabama, and I was 12 first went to Rockbrook. Although I was scared at first, all my fear washed away the minute I saw the lake and the Junior Lodge. I knew right then I would love it here. One of my favorite things about Rockbrook is the people; I have so many life long friends here that I treasure more than anyone else in the world, and I hope every camper can make friends just like I have at Rockbrook.
I hope to share Rockbrook wonder and fun with all the campers I interact with. My advice, try to do every activity you can. Even if you think, “I don’t know if I am a climber” or “a singer” or “a swimmer”, by trying all the activities you can discover a new part of yourself. And as you explore activities, you can get to know Rockbrook’s wonderful community, from the smallest camper to the oldest councilor. If you ever spot me reading at the top of the hill or playing ukulele in the Junior Lodge, feel free to say “Hey there, hi there!”

Hey there, hi there, I’m Lucy and I am so excited to be back at RBC this summer! I grew up near Cambridge in the UK and I now go to the University of Lincoln to study Psychology.
Camp never fails to keep me present and in the moment which I feel is rare in my life outside of camp when I’m thinking about school deadlines or using technology a bit too much. Camp gets you away from all that while keeping you in touch with your inner child and ALWAYS encourages you to be a little bit silly!
I feel so privileged to experience camp life at RBC and be surrounded by all these incredible Rockbrook girls – I absolutely cannot wait to be back in the heart of the wooded mountain!

Hi! I’m Ella, and I’m so thrilled to come back for my eleventh year at camp!!
I’m from Chapel Hill, North Carolina and I will be starting my first year at Davidson College in the fall. At home, I like playing tennis, painting paint-by-number canvases, and having potluck brunches with my friends.
Camp is truly my favorite place in the world, and I feel so lucky to be part of such a supportive and fun-loving community. I can’t wait to be back in the beautiful mountains again and make so many new friends!

Hey! Hi! My name is Bri and I am so excited to get to experience my first Rockbrook summer as a counselor. While I haven’t gotten the chance to spend a summer at Rockbrook before, I grew up spending summers making the BEST memories playing mermaids in Lake Michigan and pretending to be a wilderness explorer in the woods of upper Wisconsin, so I cannot wait to make even more memories and to explore all that Rockbrook has to offer. Over the past few summers– in between playing with my dog or finding increasingly intricate ways to get tan while avoiding a sunburn– I have spent my time babysitting and working as a day camp counselor in the Chicago suburbs, where I call home.
This year, I cannot wait to experience the pure magic and joy that is a Rockbrook summer. I knew Rockbrook was the place for me when I saw just how much love and happiness there was on each and every person’s face all over the Rockbrook website, then meeting people all the way at school in Indiana who could attest to the beautiful summers they spent at Rockbrook. I look forward to getting to know everyone, letting loose and being silly, and hopefully participating in as many dance parties and sing-offs as possible. I feel so lucky to join such an amazing group of people and hopefully getting to contribute to a spectacular summer.

Hey there! My name is Della, and I’m from Delray Beach, Florida. I’ve been coming to camp since I was 11 years old, and it has become such an important part of my life. I’m currently a junior at Florida Atlantic University, and no matter how busy school gets, I always look forward to spending my summers back at camp. My all-time favorite thing to do at camp is white water kayaking! I love teaching it, spending time on the river with friends, and helping campers try new things and build confidence. Some of my favorite memories have come from being out on the water both in and outside of camp. I’m most excited to meet everyone, make new friends, and create amazing memories together this summer. Being in the mountains is what makes me happiest, and I truly couldn’t think of a better place to spend my summer!

Hey there, hi there! My name is Grace and I am from Atlantic Beach, Florida. I am beyond excited to be back at camp for my ninth summer. I am a rising junior at Sewanee: The University of the South, where I am pursuing a major in Biology with minors in Spanish and Chemistry. I am looking forward to being back at RBC with friends old and new. At camp, you will typically find me spending time on the hill or scrambling to complete my mermaid laps before the trip to Dolly’s. I can’t wait for another summer filled with endless laughter, countless songs and of course, lots of Rockbrookies. YAY camp!
Hi there, everyone! My name is Marston and I’m SO excited to be back at Rockbrook this summer. I first rolled up the driveway on opening day when I was eight years old, and from that moment on, I knew this special place was for me. Many years later, Rockbrook continues to shape who I am; it reminds me that there is magic to be found in the simplest of things and that we are at our very best when we make plenty of room for whimsy!
I feel so lucky to spend another summer in the heart of a wooded mountain in my new role as Staff Director. It’s a true full-circle experience for me! I now have the joyful privilege of celebrating and supporting our wonderful counselors during their time here, ensuring our campers have the most meaningful (and fun!) summer imaginable. Rockbrook’s uniquely kind, silly, and caring community is unlike any other you’ll find in the world, and I can’t wait for you to be a part of it! If you see me laughing on the hill or frolicking about in a goofy costume, please say hi!
