Voyageur at HoneyRock

Voyageur Adventure is a three-week camper program for rising 11th and 12th grade students that seeks to develop campers in spiritual maturity, leadership, and love for creation through immersive learning experiences in the wilderness and camp. Through intentional community, spiritual practices and opportunities that build resilience, campers will grow in their faith and learn to navigate challenges with dependence on God and one another.

The program begins with several days at HoneyRock, where campers build community, develop wilderness skills, and intentionally prepare for their upcoming expedition. Through shared experiences and leadership opportunities, campers begin to discover their strengths, recognize the needs of others, and grow in their awareness of themselves and their leadership tendencies through utilizing the Challenge Course.

After this time at HoneyRock, groups depart for an eight-day wilderness expedition in the beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The wilderness provides an unmatched setting to encounter God through the awe and wonder of His creation, deepen relationships through shared joys and challenges, and discover how to depend on Him and one another.

After returning to HoneyRock, the adventure continues! Campers spend another week bringing their wilderness learning into the camp setting, reflecting on their experiences, and putting what they've learned into practice through purposeful service, strengthening relationships, and leadership opportunities. Through service opportunities and activity area progressions, campers continue to develop resilience, grow in self-awareness, and look for ways to serve and encourage others. Throughout the three weeks, Voyageur Adventure invites campers to live out their faith, take initiative, and steward the gifts and resources entrusted to them as they grow into servant leaders who love God, care for others, and engage the world around them.

Voyageur Expedition is an immersive wilderness experience for rising 11th and 12th grade high school students, offering an opportunity to grow in faith, deepen relationships, and encounter God through the beauty and adventure of His creation. The program begins with a couple of days at HoneyRock for fun, intentional group formation and preparation for the wilderness journey ahead.

After this time at camp, groups depart for an eight-day wilderness expedition in the beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Through intentional community, spiritual practices, and time in creation, campers have the opportunities to deepen their relationships with God and one another while growing in resilience and learning to depend on God through the joys and challenges of wilderness travel.

The final few days are spent back at HoneyRock, where campers reflect on their wilderness experiences, celebrate their time together, and begin to consider how they will carry what they've learned into their lives beyond the wilderness.

Our goal is to provide gender specific wilderness trips (men and women have their own trips separate from one another). If there are not enough campers registered to run gender specific trips, we will merge trips and send out one trip. In this event, all trips will have both male and female counselors, there will be no co-ed tents, and both genders will have opportunities for gender specific discussions and activity times.

We take the tastiness of trip meals very seriously, especially the snacks.
