A Note from from The Executive Director

Investing in HoneyRock’s Mission to Develop Whole and Effective People for Christ

Throughout its history, HoneyRock has proven to be extremely effective in employing its immersive ministry model to foster the development of whole and effective people for Christ. With a small staff team, creative solutions, and a lot of hard work, we served a record number of students and campers this summer. Now, we’re in full swing with school-year programming! 

Our Challenge: Like the majority of Christian camp ministries, our program revenue does not cover our operating costs. We rely on the generous support of our donor partners as we seek to keep our programs affordable for families.  Approximately 90% of HoneyRock’s operating costs are covered by program fees, leaving 10% we must fund each year. 

Our Opportunity: That’s where you come in! Growing our HoneyRock Partners program (monthly and annual donor supporters) while at the same time growing revenue in our key programs will enable us to fully cover our operating costs that advance HoneyRock's mission.

Our Goal: Please help us close the gap! We are looking for new giving partners to raise $300,000 per year and invite you to partner with us in sustaining this vision for generations to come.

As a HoneyRock donor myself, please consider joining me in supporting our mission with any amount, such as $25/month to $100,000/year.

God Bless,

Matt Erickson, ‘95 
Executive Director
