Due to the high volume of summer camp registrations for HoneyRock's programs, we are implementing changes to our registration process to better serve each of our campers and the families who are looking to participate in HoneyRock's programs. Having such high and vested interest in our summer camp programs is a good thing. So, to serve the increasing volume of registrants and interest, we are aiming to create more opportunities for more campers to register for our program offerings.

Making Camp Affordable
Program Costs and Pricing Model
Actual v. Adjusted: Catalyst
We're asking Catalyst campers and their families to choose between paying the actual price and the adjusted price. The actual price reflects the real costs needed to deliver a full HoneyRock Catalyst 1 or 2 experience. We recognize that some Catalyst campers and their families cannot afford the actual price at this time but still desire to come to HoneyRock for the summer. If that is the case, you can opt for the adjusted price.
This ability to choose between the actual and the adjusted prices is made possible through the generosity of contributions to our annual fund drive and camper scholarship endowments. We invite you to pay the price that is most suitable for you and your family at this time. The price you choose to pay will not influence the experience you (your camper) will receive.
Actual v. Adjusted: Voyageur and 2:22 Programs
If you are financially prepared to pay the difference between the actual and adjusted cost of the 2:22 or Voyaguer camper programs, we invite you to donate an amount of your choice towards the difference between the adjusted and actual program costs. You can do this during the registration process after logging into or creating your account.
Your contribution towards the difference of actual and adjusted prices helps cover the actual operating costs of these two programs (Voyageur and 2:22) which provide unique wilderness experiences to HoneyRock high school campers.
Here are several ways to make camp more affordable:

Payment Plans

Camperships (Camper Scholarships)
Further financial assistance is available to those who demonstrate a need through various camperships (camper scholarships). We have a specific campership fund for children of single mothers.

Support of Others
Approximately 25% of our camper families receive funds from their grandparents, other relatives, or churches. Consider who can aid in sending your camper to camp this summer! More information can be found by following the link above "Expore Financial Assistance & Scholarships".
