What to Expect

When you arrive, you'll be greeted by our enthusiastic staff in costumes who will kick off your experience with a game or skit.

Our facility is completely outdoors, but don't worry, we have all the modern amenities you need, like electricity and plumbing.

We strive to keep things as rustic as possible so you and your students can fully experience the great outdoors.

Sleeping outside is often a memorable part of the adventure that your students will never forget.

Upon arrival, the staff will be eager to introduce themselves and get acquainted with you and your group. They may inquire about your names, hometowns, and how your journey was, as well as the size of your group. Next, the staff will provide a tour of the facilities and go over some of the camp expectations for your students. Afterwards, your group will begin unloading and setting up sleeping arrangements. Depending on the season, groups may choose to either tent camp or sleep under the stars with tarps. While your students are finishing up, you can expect to meet with the camp staff to turn in necessary documents such as waivers. The staff will likely provide you with an overview of the evening's schedule, address any last-minute concerns, and answer any questions you may have.

At Rock-N-Water camp, the staff and guides will show a spiritual interest in you and your students. It's possible that your guide has been praying for your trip before you even arrive at camp. They will discuss and plan quiet time devotionals and evening campfire activities with you.
