Parent Liaison
The Parent Liaison, Charlotte Page, is a special member of our staff who pays extra attention to our first time campers. With Charlotte’s many years of camp experience, she has a keen eye for how children are adjusting to camp, and working with our counselors, will sometimes make suggestions to ease a girl’s transition to camp life. She also will contact parents should there be an issue of some kind or even just to let you know how your camper is doing.
If you have a specific question or concern, please feel free to contact our office to speak with the Parent Liaison or one of our other directors.
Snail Mail! Campers love to receive mail, especially the good old-fashioned kind. Your daughter can also receive emails (see the parents manual for that address), however she won’t be able to send them back. Give her camp address out to friends and relatives, along with a suggestion to focus more on what she is doing at camp than on details at home. Keep the tone encouraging and positive.
It is also important to note that mail can take longer than usual, simply because Brevard’s small-town post office gets overwhelmed with mail from the numerous summer camps in the area. Plan on a few extra days for letters to be received.
We have found that campers receiving packages, especially when compared to those that do not, can have a negative effect on the camp community. For this main reason, we have a no package policy. Of course, if there is something that must be sent (for example, a forgotten pair of riding boots or even a birthday present), we are happy to make an exception. Please contact our office to receive approval before sending any package. Please note that all packages without approval will be returned.
Letters from Her Counselor
You’ll receive a letter and a postcard from your camper’s counselor. She’ll include information about what activities your camper has signed up for, how she getting along in the cabin, and even some exciting upcoming events! You are also welcome to call the office and ask to speak to the counselor or a director personally.
Camp News Updates
Throughout your camper’s session, we will upload thousands of photos to an online photo gallery. This is a great way for you to see what been going on at camp each day. Just login to your Parent Account and you’ll have access.
Another way to keep up with what’s going on at camp is to subscribe to our camp blog. Various Directors and staff members post updates and regular news about camp.
You can also follow us on twitter and receive brief messages about camp life. It’s camp in real time!
Visitor Policy
Rockbrook does not have a parents’ visitation day. We have found that campers do best when they do not have visitors during camp. Readjusting to camp following a visit can be difficult, especially for a homesick camper. If you would like to see camp yourself, plan to have your daughter be your “tour guide” on closing day when she can share her favorite places with you.
