Online Camper Registration Now Online!

We are now accepting camper registrations for Summer 2012 on our new website: wheaton.edu/HoneyRock

If you have registered with HoneyRock in the past, you should have received an email prompting you to register with the email address we have in our system. Please do not open a new account unless you have never registered with HoneyRock before. This prevents us from having multiple entries in our system. (If you think you already have an account with us but aren't sure, please email our registrar.)

We hope you enjoy the conveniences of the new system and appreciate your patience as we iron out the kinks. 

Have a wonderful Christmas season!

Check back in  May!

You may have noticed that we have not updated our blog in the last two months.  That is because it is no longer summer time here in the Northwoods--the leaves have fallen off the trees, Fall Break is over and there are actually snow flurries in the forecast.

We will begin updating the blog again in May once the college students have arrived for the summer.

Thanks!

And good-bye for now!

Seeking HoneyRockers around the globe!

by Luis Cadena
Marketing Guy

Every once in a while as I do my marketing guy duties, I check the reports from our various channels (our blog, facebook, website) to see how many people visit our sites and what interests them. One of the cool features on these reports is that they tell you where people access your site from. In addition to being read in homes all across the U.S., HoneyRock's media are also accessed from Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, Costa Rica and Bulgaria! 

For a while I've been wanting to do an "international shout out" to those looking at our facebook from places as far as Malaysia. So not only are we saying hello to you, Czech Republic HoneyRockers, we would really like to hear from all of you on how your time at HoneyRock helped prepare you for life and service "out there in the world" — from Amsterdam to Santo Domingo to Naperville, Illinois! We are especially interested in hearing from those who are serving in cross-cultural situations in the U.S. or abroad.  

We are trying to track down alumni who had significant experiences at HoneyRock while they attended Wheaton. We would really like to hear from you on how your time at HoneyRock helped prepare you for life and service "out there in the world". We are especially interested in hearing from those who are serving in cross-cultural situations in the U.S. or abroad.  

Click here to sign up to participate in Partners' Weekend 2011!This September we are having a celebration weekend at HoneyRock for donors and friends on the theme: "From the Northwoods to the World."  We would love testimonies or stories to share with those who gather about what God is doing through you.  

Share  your story with us via email, a DVD, on our Facebook pageby commenting on our blog, or even via Skype. The HoneyRock friends who gather will spend time praying for all who respond.

Send your thoughts or contact us with questions at:  jpearce@honeyrockcamp.org.

We look forward to hearing from you!
