The Dorm Head may also serve as an additional Big Brother or Big Sister, providing support to the newer students. Staff are on campus 24-hours a day to offer both safety and supervision. In addition, there are awake faculty members monitoring the dorms throughout the night. Each student's daily schedule will vary as they progress through the school. At Rocky Mountain Academy, morning activities may include academic classes and service commitments such as working in the wood corral, landscaping, gardening and wood working.
Lunch is followed by afternoon classes, meetings or activities.
Outdoor recreational activities, such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, snow shoeing, wilderness trip preparation and running can also be a part of the individual students' daily schedule. Dorm time begins at 5 p.m. and dinner is served at 6 p.m. Evening activities may include activities and fine arts classes, as well as study and personal time. Students have time to talk and exchange their personal histories. Evening hours provide an ideal time for relationship building and frequently include Big Brother and Big Sister interaction with new students. Saturday morning is spent doing general campus cleanup, with elective classes or activities in the afternoon.
