About these positions: These paid positions are intended for those who have graduated from college and are considering a possible future in educational/outdoor-oriented ministries (i.e. camp, youth, missions, adventure, college). These individuals are required to live at HoneyRock and will be part of the small, intimate school year community of HoneyRock. There are several months in the fall when there are only a handful of people onsite so you must be “self-entertaining” in the evenings and on weekends. From November until summer there are 10-20 graduate students who join the community and serve the retreat ministry all winter. A willingness to be flexible in roles and responsibilities is also necessary. A desire to serve others and engage in the small ministering community of HoneyRock is essential.
