Our Philosophy: Fostering Kindness and a Supportive Environment
At Rockbrook Camp, we focus on cultivating a kind and supportive atmosphere for both our staff and campers. We believe that when our staff are valued and empowered, they are better equipped to nurture that same spirit among campers. Our camp training programs provide you with practical skills, confidence, and the know-how to create an inclusive environment that encourages friendship and personal growth. Creating this camp culture is the core of what we do.
Opportunities for Growth and Leadership
We understand that personal and professional growth go hand in hand, and we’re here to support both. That’s why we provide you with hands-on opportunities to develop your skills, take on leadership roles, and challenge yourself in new ways. Whether it’s becoming an arts-and-crafts specialist, leading a hike to our hidden waterfall, or learning how to keep a group of energetic campers engaged, Rockbrook Camp encourages you to push your boundaries and find your strengths.

Between shared meals, camp-wide events, and everyday activities, you’ll find countless opportunities to connect meaningfully with others, be your true self, and make friendships that will last far beyond the summer.
