| Company Overview: | Rockbrook is a traditional overnight summer camp for girls located in the mountains of western North Carolina near Brevard. Established in 1921, it offers a diverse program of horseback riding, outdoor adventure activities, whitewater rafting, ceramics, crafts, and many other activities. Girls ages 6-16 attend for 2-, 3- or 4-week sessions. Rockbrook is accredited by the American Camp Association. <br> |
| Mission: | Rockbrook provides a summer camp program of recreation, adventure, creativity and fun designed for young girls.

Our goal is for each camper to gain, at her own pace, greater self-confidence and a deeper understanding of herself and of her relationship with other people and the natural world. |
