Preparations and New Arrivals

There are only 24 days left until the first campers arrive and here at HoneyRock, we're all busy getting ready. The last few weeks have been full of preparation as the summer staff arrives, settles in, and gets to work! 

In the last two weeks, we have been joined by a group of six Korean students. Many of them are here in the States for the very first time! We've also welcomed our activity staff and they're hard at work in their areas of expertise, doing practice sessions for other staff members in order to get ready for the campers coming soon. Please keep us in your prayers as we grow in community and fellowship with each other!

Wheaton In the Northwoods (WIN) has one more week left in their second session. It's been a blessing to have so many dedicated students here. Hearing their stories over dinner (and the occasional game of BANG!) has been awesome. Pray for focus for them as they study hard and finish this week strong, and for safety as they head back to Wheaton. 

Though it's been unseasonably cold (or maybe it's not unseasonable. I'm not from Wisconsin), the summer has begun and we are super excited to share it with the awesome kids arriving soon. Let the final countdown begin!
