guide In a 1928 RedBook Magazine editorial, George Johnson, associate professor for the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University said, “The summer camp restores to children much of the naturalness of living that the modern community, in so many ways, tends to take away.” My favorite childhood memories where made at summer camp. Here is your guide to summer camps we found to restore your child’s naturalness of living. Rockfish Camp and Retreat Center Rockfish has experienced much success in its forty-plus years of existence. Nestled on 486 acres in the Sandhills region of North Carolina at the intersection of Hoke, Cumberland and Robeson counties, and bordering the picturesque Lake Upchurch, Camp Rockfish is ideally placed for a great experience for all center guests. Unique camp experiences include: • Roller Coaster Camp offers an intense week visiting three amusement parks, two historic towns and traveling over 700 miles. • Canoe Camp is a great week of canoeing skill development as well as traditional Rockfish activities culminating with a three-day, two-night canoeing, camping adventure!

• Adventure Quest takes campers outside to go rafting, caving, zip lining, and rock climbing and explore God’s creation through hands-on experience and counselor led Bible study. • S.W.A.T. (Servants with a testimony) is a two week adventure for youth in two parts.
