Most amazing summer camp for girls out there! The women in my family have attended RBC for many…read moregenerations- cousins, aunts, grandmothers, myself, and now my daughters. I truly attribute my daughters' maturity, independence, and adventurous spirit to the many summers she's spent hiking-swimming-riding-canoeing-performing-and now serving her fellow Rockbrook girls. From waking up to the bell, to polar bear swims, hiking challenges, dressing up like super hero's, and dancing your heart out at the surprise dances. Each day is always filled with unexpected moments awaiting just around the corner. The food- oh don't get me started on the food! A top notch chef prepares locally sourced meals for every occasion. My daughters favorites are the made from scratch muffin breaks and taco nights with hand rolled tamales!!! They also love the homemade pizza! There's just something about waking up to the cardinals in the heart of the wooded mountain that for us feels like home. My youngest daughter will be a CIT next year. She's attended Rockbrook since she was 5years old. She has made lifelong friends and learned songs she will one day sing to her own children. Summer camp is a magical place, but there is no where else on earth like Rockbrook.

I went to Rockbrook camp for 6 years as a camper, and worked there for 4 years as a counselor. RBC…read moreis absolutely magical in every way. I can't say enough good things about the people, the facilities, and the beautiful sense of connection you experience here. Rockbrook welcomes every girl with open arms and gives her a home to return to every summer. From the camp songs to the spirit fire, the outdoor activities to the arts/theater offerings, there is literally everything a child could ever hope for and more! I miss RBC and go back for every reunion. When I have kids, I will definitely send them here. I highly recommend RBC to everyone I meet! P.S.- I see a really weird negative review on here that I'm 99% sure is fake because it couldn't farther from the truth! Take it from someone who spent a cumulative TWO YEARS of my life here (adding up all of those summers!)- it's a magical, authentic, and caring place.

This camp is a gem. I cannot say enough good things. Both camps are family-owned by brothers who…read moregrew up there. They are incredible people and impressed me so much over the years with their genuine love for their campers and camp families. I believe they see the camp really as a ministry as much as their family business. The maturity and quality of the counselor staff is amazing. All three of my children who went to camp had counselors they were able to really look up to as a person. My three nieces have also attended this camp, and I have never seen any of these children more loving, confident, and secure in their own skin than when we pick them up from camp. These are crucial childhood and adolescent years when our children are learning to take on their Christian faith as their own, learning that they can challenge themselves to do new and hard things, learning what a good friend is like and how to be one, and are actively searching for the right kinds of mentors to show them the kind of person they want to be. Camp has been a blessing to our family because it has provided such strong and positive experiences in these areas for our children.

This past weekend, we headed north to Brevard to check out some amazing bands playing at the…read moreMountain Song Festival. Having been to Brevard numerous time, I was surprised that I was complete unaware of the venue hosting the event, the Brevard Music Center. The event itself was awesome and featured some brilliant bluegrass artists from classics like Hot Rize and Steep Canyon Rangers to up and coming artists like Molly Tuttle. The covered, open theater, is a gem. Great acoustics, beautiful facility, and great for a show on a cool evening. The property was beautifully landscaped and had little cabins and ponds throughout. I can't wait to see another show there and learn more about the BMC!

We love Camp Carolina! My son is usually quiet and reserved. But when he comes home from Camp…read moreCarolina, I hear story after story about the friends he waits all year to see, the counselors, the practical jokes, the activities, and the interactions. His days there are packed with outdoor activities--refining the ones he's comfortable with and being brave enough to try new ones. He comes home pink-cheeked and enthusiastic. I can see his self confidence and independence grow in ways that it can't be nurtured at home. It's a sacrifice to our household to send him--we could all take a vacation together for the cost--but it's entirely worth it.

The summer of 2014 will be my oldest son's third summer at Deep Woods (he will be 12 this summer)…read more It is obvious to me that Deep Woods has had a profound and lasting effect on him. After camp this past summer, he spent his first week home sleeping in a tent in the back yard (the tent was a luxury!). For the year between his first and second summers, he was telling us little stories about camp right up until we were pulling up to Deep Woods again. Often and at seemingly random times, he'll say things like "I had the best set-up at Bear Lake" or "Your eggs are pretty good, but Kells' are better" or "We hiked 40 miles in five days." We chose Deep Woods because my son was looking for an overnight camp where he could "do boy things with other boys out in the woods." Other than an overnight camp focused on outdoor activities, we were searching for a secular camp. We also were looking for a camp that offered a two-week session because, although my son asked to go away to camp, he was still a bit nervous about the endeavor. We read many, many camp websites that described all the activities they offered and detailed the daily schedule. None of those camps were of much interest to our son. After reading the Deep Woods website, he simply said "that's where I want to go." Even though the shortest session was four weeks, he was so excited about the camp that he said he wanted to give it a try. The first summer we were a little concerned that he might lose weight over the month because we knew he would be so active. But when he got home, he was actually a pound or two heavier because Kells knows active, growing boys need hearty meals like scrambled eggs and pancakes for breakfast and lasagna for dinner. Kells also knows that there are boys who need a camp where they can be in the woods and swim in a lake and hike up a mountain and spend the evenings playing flashlight tag or playing board games or just hanging out. After each summer, my son seems a little more confident and a little more grown up than he otherwise might be had he spent the summer at home. I sometimes think that in order for him to compete in our increasingly competitive world, he should be spending summers at math camp and computer camp and baseball camp. But then I remind myself that one of the best things we can do for him is let him have time to himself. I won't lie: it's very difficult to leave him at camp for four weeks. We spend a lot of time wondering when we will get our next letter (no phone calls allowed!), hoping to hear news of his latest adventure on the trail or rock climbing or canoeing. His little brother will be attending this summer as well. We are really looking forward to seeing how much he will change and grow after his month at Deep Woods.
