Melody Parish

Hello all! My name is Melody and I’m excited to return for my 3rd year at Rockbrook. I’m originally from Kentuckiana (the affectionate nickname for the southern Indiana and northern Kentucky region around Louisville, KY) and grew up playing outside, camping, and spending lots of time in the woods, so I’m happy to be in this very special place. I’ve enjoyed doing several different jobs at Rockbrook, which definitely reflects my hodgepodge of interests. I always love learning something new, especially if I can share it with a friend! This year I’ll be down in the garden in GART and up in Needlecraft a bit, where I loved teaching campers all things needle arts last year. You can find me crocheting (a skill I learned and taught last summer that I have become OBSESSED with) especially modern granny squares right now, identifying native plants and animals, pulling volunteer plants around camp when needed (what is a “weed,” anyway, but a plant who volunteered to grow without a human’s say-so?), and chilling out with my feet a stream. I love to see all the creativity around camp and can’t wait to see what magic everyone makes together this year!
