We strongly encourage all campers, no matter your family’s financial need, to contribute to their own camp experience through the Matching Scholarship. This gives your camper a deeper sense of ownership for their experience. HoneyRock will match every dollar a camper contributes to the program fee up to $150 (Intro) | $300 (Res/Advance).
