2:22 at HoneyRock
With the transition into high school completed, the goal of our 2:22 session is to help your camper establish how they might own their pursuit of Christ as they step solidly into young adulthood, using 2 Timothy 2:22 as our guide. Do you want your camper to be grounded in their identity as they travel through high school? Then come join us for a summer they will never forget!
"So flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart." (2 Timothy 2:22)
- A deep dive into one of the four Gospels with the grounding context of 2 Timothy 2:22.
- Our hope is for your camper to leave HoneyRock with both the desire to pursue Christ and the practical skills they need to succeed in their home contexts.
- Our most exciting and immersive wilderness trip yet!
- Exploring God’s Awe and Wonder through purposeful creation immersion while growing in confidence that your camper IS someone who can do hard things.
- Robust opportunities for meaningful service for communities that are in need.
- Establishing that part of our calling as children of God is to serve each other, and experience the rich joy that service can bring.
2:22 is all about learning how to daily live in relationship with Christ. Whether this is your first summer or you're very familiar with HoneyRock, your camper will get to form friendships that last in a program that is focused on building high school community.
Additional Information About 2:22
Each cabin will embark on an eight-day wilderness trip at the beginning of their 2:22 session - no prior wilderness experience needed!
Our wilderness trips facilitate awesome encounters with God through his creation in premiere wilderness spaces. Trips create fantastic memories and help us focus our hearts and minds on God’s strength and presence as campers learn they are able to do much more than they originally thought.
2:22 campers will travel to northern Wisconsin and explore beautiful backpacking and canoeing trips around trails and rivers like the Ice Age Trail and the Namekagonriver.

Solid Rock is an optional challenge designed to encourage campers’ spiritual and physical growth. If they choose to participate, they will memorize Scripture and take initiative in a service project at camp. They will also participate together in the “Epic Feat of Strength” on a scenic loop around camp.
First Word is a time for the 2:22 community to gather together at the beginning of the day for one of our staff to share a short devotional. It helps us to start our day together focused on God.
Morning watch is an opportunity for campers to experience the daily rhythm of meeting with Jesus through personal quiet time that involves scripture, prayer, and reflection.
Cabin Impacts are our daily bible studies facilitated by cabin leaders. This is a time set apart for campers to read scripture together with their cabins and it often includes a short activity, guided discussion, and time to reflect on what they are learning from the Word of God.
- At HoneyRock, we eat family-style! For every meal, you'll come into the Dining Hall as a cabin and sit around a table with your cabin.
- On Trip (wilderness trip), you'll cook together, eat together, and clean up together, but you'll do all that at your campsite rather than at a dining hall table!
- Whether it's on the trip or in Chrouser Dining Hall, we adapt and are prepared for dietary needs/restrictions. HoneyRock dining hall and kitchen are a nut-free facility.
2:22 campers have the option to begin or continue working towards their Basic, Intermediate, and Masters in any of our 14 activity areas, with the exception of Horsemanship* (the Barn).
Our activity skill progression involves learning and honing technical skills in a specific activity, developing a capacity to serve in the activity area, and stepping into opportunities for the instruction of other fellow campers in said activity. While activity areas are fun, they're also used to teach perseverance (it can take a camper 3-5 years to earn a Masters!), build confidence, learn how to fail and try again, and so many other essential life skills. Our activity areas are one of our most powerful tools for developing character and calling in our campers.
*Horsemanship and 2:22 Campers: Horsemanship will be limited in its offering for the 2:22 program. Horsemanship will be available to 2:22 campers who have already begun the horsemanship activity skills progression. Students intending to work on their Intermediate or Master's level skills in Horsemanship are encouraged to sign up for Horsemanship as an activity. 2:22 campers/parents can direct questions and intent to sign up for Horsemanship to the Equine Program Manager via email: melissa.hougas@wheaton.edu
This is structured “free time” – visit the Beehive, play a game, sign up for an activity as a cabin...the opportunities are endless!
Being at HoneyRock was life-preserving for my daughter. Now that she is home, I see great growth and change in her. She has a connection with Christian girls her age that she has never enjoyed before, she has a determination to take responsibility for her life, to live her life well, and to grow in Christ.— — Anne Osielski, 2020 Camper Parent
