Every year, The Rock School gives its Summer Intensive students and parents the opportunity to join us on a dinner cruise to reward everyone for all their hard work and dedication throughout the summer. On the boat, students can enjoy dinner, dancing and photo ops on the deck at sunset.

The evening is usually a fun-filled array of memories, both joyful and sad, as everyone must say their goodbyes to each other until another year.
