Staff Spotlight - Oliver Rockman


My name is Oliver Rockman and I am beyond excited to be back at camp for my thirteenth summer! I am from Omaha, Nebraska, and am soon to be a graduate of Emory University in Atlanta. At camp, I am a village director and spend a lot of time at the Riflery range. At night, Nick Kasle and I have often been the victims of some shady shuffling by Brody Poss, Sam Bricker's frequent Euchre partner. I'm already counting the days until the summer starts!

Share one notable camp memory:
Leaving camp after my final summer as a camper. It was 2009 and didn't think I would be back the next year, let alone in 2016!
