Additional Information
Open to all 3rd - 8th grade HoneyRock campers and their friends!
This is an awesome opportunity for your HoneyRocker to invite a friend who's thinking about going to summer camp at HoneyRock. While there's a huge difference between summer and winter in the Northwoods, it's a great chance for new campers to see HoneyRock for a short period of time.
Once we get closer to the event, we will share our COVID-safe precautions based on the most up to date research and data. We estimate being able to share this information around December 15th.
We will provide an opt-out period after sharing those precautions. This means if you've already registered, but do not feel comfortable with the precautions, you will be able to cancel your registration and receive a refund.
The daily schedule you see below is approximate. Once we see how many campers are coming, what the weather looks like, and what precautions need to be taken due to COVID, we'll fine-tune everything to make sure it's safe and fun for campers.
