\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhile looking at the American Camp Association website, we came across this interesting list of celebrities and leaders who grew up attending summer camp.\r\n\r\nWe here at Rockbrook know that camp is a place that fosters creativity, independence, character development, curiosity, inspiration, fun and leadership.  Just take a look at the list and you will agree that “Camp gives kids a world of good”!  We wonder what future leaders are in the ranks of Rockbrook right now? 🙂

Take a Summer Camp Survey

The Magic of Summer Camp

Each year the Rockbrook staff participate in the American Camp Association Annual Conference.  It is held in different locations around the country and features different speakers, camp suppliers, and opportunities for networking and sharing.  Last year we had the pleasure of traveling to San Diego, CA where we really enjoyed the keynote speaker,  Michael G. Thompson, Ph.D.  Thompson has written several books about raising happy, healthy children.  He is currently writing a new book and is looking for input from former campers and counselors.  If you are interested in taking his survey and sharing some of your Rockbrook memories, just visit his website where you will find the summer camp questionnaire.  Have fun walking down memory lane!

You may also want to take a moment to read his most recent blog post,” What’s The Magic of Camp?”.  It is a great summary of what we here at Rockbrook already know.  Rockbrook is a very special place!

Come slide down the slide at Rockbrook
Zipping down the water slide at our camp reunion

During our camp reunion back in August, one of the highlights for the alumnae was sliding down our brand new water slide.  The tower stands at 30 feet high and the vinyl slide itself slides for 50 feet.  It is so much fun to climb the tower and then fly down the slide to the lake below!  Here are some great photos of the slide that were taken during the summer.

Now that the slide has been broken in properly by all of our campers and alumnae, we are ready to come up with a creative name.  A few suggestions have been put forward, but a name has not stuck.  If you have any suggestions just send us an email at office@rockbrookcamp.com or comment below.  You may just become a part of Rockbrook history by inaugurating the slide with an official Rockbrook name.  Let us hear from you!

Congratulations Kristin and James!

Rockbrook Wedding

We were so happy to learn of the recent nuptials of Rockbrook alumna Kristin Abele.  Kristin and her husband James were married on January 14th in Key Biscayne, Florida.  A mini Rockbrook reunion took place as Kristin’s sisters Lauren and Madi (both former campers), as well as Anne Romatowski and Kelley Hubbell were in attendance.  Kelley, Anne and Lauren were even able to come to Florida a week early for a some fun adventures before the big event.  Kristin reported that lots of camp songs were shared that week, even at the wedding.  We love that Rockbrook spirit!  Kristin even mentioned that many of the wedding guests could instantly recognize the special bond that all RBC girls share!

Rockbrook Spirit

Here is an update from Kristin herself:

“As an update for me…aside from getting married…I started my own business, with my husband in fact. We own and operate The Found Gen, which is a story/scripting group based in Miami that offers writing and editing services with an emphasis on marketing to businesses–we write copy for websites, blogs, newsletters, email marketing campaigns, proposals, marketing presentations, film scripts, commercial scripts, keynote speeches and more–and now after our wedding, we’ve even started getting requests for wedding ceremonies now! And, I completed my first novel last year and now that the wedding has come and gone–i’m aiming to edit it and send it out to be published this Spring.”

Congratulations Kristin and James!  We are so happy for you both.

Rainbow over Rockbrook

Rainbow over Rockbrook Camp

 

While driving out to Rockbrook recently we spotted this amazing rainbow!  If there was a pot of gold to be found, where better than to find it at RBC?  I wonder where it would be?  Maybe near the Junior Lodge, Castle Rock, Rockbrook Falls or Dunns Rock?  Where do you think it would be?  I think the hidden treasure of RBC is the treasure we carry in our hearts filled with the wonderful people, friendships and memories that we all share!

In the words of poet William Wordsworth: “My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky.”

Fabulous Fall at Rockbrook

It’s hard to believe the color that has appeared at camp in the last few days!  Fall has definitely arrived.  We hiked around a bit today and were so impressed with the display of Fall in all it’s glory.  The crunching of leaves underfoot as we walked down the line and the sparkle of color reflected in the lake was magical. It’s a special thing to get to watch our beloved Rockbrook as it prepares for it’s winter hibernation.
