Day Camp at HoneyRock
This program is the perfect opportunity for our youngest campers to experience the fullness of camp without the commitment of an overnight stay. For five days, campers will meet new friends, play water games, hear about God’s big story in creative ways, sing worship songs, explore the outdoors together, and participate in a handful of the activity areas that HoneyRock has to offer!
