Rockbrook 2024

Hi! I’m from Knoxville, Tennessee. I am so excited to spend time at camp! I love nature and being outside during the summer time.

Hey y’all!!! I am so excited to be returning to camp for my 13 summer! I am a rising junior at the University of Georgia studying Social Work with a minor in General Business. When I am in Athens, I love to try new restaurants and go to football games (GO DAWGS). At camp you can find me sitting on the porch of the junior lodge or at the climbing tower! Outside of camp I love to explore new places and go backpacking. This summer I am looking forward to dressing up for all the themes and getting extra silly! I am so excited to meet all of the campers and new staff! I can’t imagine a summer without Rockbrook and I am looking forward to being back in the heart of the wooded mountains! See y’all soon!😁🏕️

Hi y’all!!! My name is Blair and I am SO excited to be back at Rockbrook for my 7th summer! I’m from Memphis, TN and will be attending the University of Virginia in the fall! When at camp you can usually find me frolicking on the hill with my campers or singing songs in the dining hall as loud as possible!! In my free time at home I enjoy shopping, reading, or doing really anything outside. I’m most looking forward to meeting my campers and laughing with you all this summer! YAY CAMP!!

Hi, I’m Jenny from Stuttgart, Germany and this will be my first summer at Rockbrook.
I am very excited to meet all the new people (kids and staff) and share my energy with them and spend an incredible summer together.
My favorite activities are sports and arts & crafts.
I can’t wait to compete with the whole community and capture great moments.
I also can’t wait to sit around the campfire, sing and dance with the kids and try S’More.

Hi! I am Luca Johnel (22) from Cologne, Germany and this will be my very first time at Rockbrook… well actually it will be my first time traveling to the United States at all. I’m currently studying Social Work at the Technical University of Cologne, and twice a week I get to work in a shelter for people experiencing homelessness. I love spending time with my friends in the park, going for walks, playing board games or volleyball.
When I was younger, I spent my summers at equestrian camps. I absolutely loved those times, and I really hope I can help to make your summer at Camp the best time ever! But to be honest, based on who I’ve already talked to (like Laura and some of the other international staff) and all the absolutely amazing activities at camp, there’s no doubt that this summer is going to be incredibly fun and even more exciting than anything I’ve ever been a part of.

I can’t wait to meet all of you! See you soon <3

Hello! This summer will be my very first at Rockbrook, but I’ve always been a camp girl. I’m from Pennsylvania, but I currently go to school in Los Angeles, California and have lived and studied in Seoul, South Korea. One of my passions is going to new places and meeting new people, so I am so excited to meet you all!
In school I am majoring in Art History and minoring in Computer Science which keeps me very busy doing lots of different things. I have always been a person who could never focus on just one hobby or subject, so I love the opportunity that camp brings to try new things– Including being a counselor! From arts & crafts to musical theatre, kayaking to ropes courses, woodworking to hiking, I’ve dabled in it all at camp. I can’t wait to hear about everyone’s unique hobbies and passions and try some more new things this summer!

Hi! Im Ruby, I’m from Decatur, Georgia, and I’m a rising senior in high school. I enjoy any spontaneous adventure, craft, sport, and even a fun challenge. I used to be a camper here at Rockbrook, and I would say the best part about camp is feeling welcomed, and included. I love the Rockbrook community, because everyone is willing to be adventurous, and even a little silly at times. Camp is a place we go to unwind and forget about anything else going on in our own worlds. We are free to explore however much we want, and there will be an entire group of girls right behind you through anything. I hope to bring a fun, positive spirit to camp this summer, and help campers experience adventure.

Hi, I’m Emily Koehler, but all my friends call me Emmy! Ever since I was 7 I have gone to camp for a month over the summer! I went to Rockbrook for the first time when I was 12 and absolutely loved it! The past couple of summers I have decided to solo travel instead, but I missed camp and am so excited to be back in the mountains!! I absolutely love meeting new people, making people laugh, and making life fun and am so excited to be with all of y’all this summer! I also love hiking, listening to rain, reading, singing and dancing, being with friends, traveling, and sooo much more!!! While at camp I am hoping to not only grow myself, but help those around me grow too! See y’all soon!!

I’m a history/education major that has lived all over the place! I’ve lived in Texas, Ohio, Washington DC, Virginia, and even Canada, but Hickory, North Carolina is where I call home. My three younger siblings are my favorite (and sometimes least favorite) people and we can always be found making inside jokes that no one else understands.
I grew up going to a camp in rural Kentucky, which became a home away from home. I made a lot of good friends there and had even more fun helping campers make those connections with their peers once I became a counselor myself. When considering career paths, my experience at camp helped me to connect my love for history with my excitement for helping campers grow, leading me to study secondary education too. When I graduate I hope to return to Washington DC to become a social science teacher.
