Once all of the campers had arrived today, and we finished up a delicious lunch of Rick’s homemade Mac-n-Cheese with fresh fruit and salad, all of the girls joined their counselors for a trip to the lake. Please don’t be shy about giving us feedback or asking questions in the comments. They will report items of news, announce special events, outdoor adventure trips, or just what we had for lunch. These blog posts, we hope, will dip here and there into life at camp. It’s this sense of community, energized by all the wonderful people here, that makes the fun of camp life so powerful, and ultimately meaningful. We can all now begin to do things together- share our meals, dress up in costumes, sing (!!), be creative as we make things, reconnect with nature, truly feel the weather, laugh, and play all day long. Most importantly though, today is the day when we can all come together in “the Heart of a Wooded Mountain” and form the caring, and proudly a bit zany, community that is camp. And of course, for the campers, today is when their time at camp finally begins, when the fun and excitement of the next few weeks can get started. For the staff, today is the culmination of their week-long pre-camp training where they learned about the Rockbrook Camp philosophy, protocols, teaching methods, and ways to focus on their campers’ needs in the cabin. For the directors, all of us who work year round, today begins the unfolding of many plans and the thrill of seeing everything come together- the people, the equipment and supplies, the activity ideas, special events, new camp buildings, and surprises for the campers. Let’s get started! The day that so many of us have been waiting for has finally arrived.
