Staff Spotlight – Oliver Rockman
I’m Oliver, and this summer will be my 11th at North Star. I am from Omaha Nebraska, but am currently a Sophomore at Emory University in Atlanta, where I have applied to the business school. I also am involved in the Emory outdoor club and the school paper.
Despite going to college in the south, I remain the Nebraska Cornhuskers biggest fan. In my spare time, I enjoy dominating Nick Kasle at FIFA. At camp, I primarily teach Riflery, but also can be found instructing Golf or Disc Golf. I also am helping write and direct the musical. I can’t wait for the summer!

How has camp impacted you?
– Camp has impacted me in countless ways, including sparking and fostering some of the closest friendships I have ever had, as well as encouraging me to try new things, such as sun butter, which is ok if you recognize it isn’t peanut butter. I have grown at camp in ways that are hard to verbalize.
