Here, in a noncompetitive environment, campers gain experience in making their own decisions, since many opportunities are available daily. Campers from many geographic regions live with others their age in small cabin groups of 8 campers and 2 counselors. Campers receive instruction with others at their age and skill level and progress according to individual ability. Activities are structured so that, as campers return for successive seasons, new challenges and opportunities are always available. Many activities are offered during morning and afternoon instructional periods.
Campers choose their five daily classes once a week.
The choices include target sports, athletics, several crafts, and outdoor instruction. Rockbrook has a year-round commercial pottery operation that is devoted entirely to campers during the summer. The horses used to teach all levels of hunter-jumper instruction are also used for riding instruction throughout the year. These activities offer many challenges to campers as they return each summer. Several outdoor trips involving these activities are offered daily both on and off the camp property.
