Experience Unforgettable Community.
One of the most fun and growing elements of a summer at HoneyRock is the people - we've heard summer staff say that since 1951. Like on of our cabin leaders put it, "It is not a place of perfection, but a place of transformation. The people in this place have internalized God's love for them in such a way that it impacts everything they do. It is a place of community, encouragement, challenge, and growth. As someone who worked there for only one summer, I would would be perfectly happy to work and live there for the rest of my life." - Julie Heath, SLS '13
Grow Your Ministry Experience.
All SLS students will receive extensive ministry training. HoneyRock staff and Wheaton College faculty will lead specialized training in child development, communication, education, and psychology to prepare you for working with young campers. Additionally, you will learn how to plan and lead a spiritual formation journey for your campers. This training time facilitates the development of team unity and builds a deep, mission-minded community.
Define Your Leadership Gifts.
Discover your gifts, abilities, and passions in leadership through individualized coaching, training, and hands on leadership experience. The greatest transformation comes when we quiet ourselves long enough to listen attentively to God, to one another, and to what’s stirring in your own heart. While transformation takes place over time, it requires a place for healing, trust, and connection. Our mission is to help you become a whole and effective leader with an ability to build redemptive communities.
Enhance Your College Career.
The world is calling out for a different kind of leader - college is the time to step into a new kind of leadership. It's not the acquisition of power that changes the world, but the ability to love, serve, and forgive. We inspire maturing leadership through the restorative and transformational power of Christ-Centered community, meaningful service opportunities, and outdoor adventure. This transformation leads to greater influence and a stronger capacity to lead.
