A Word from our Winterim Interns

Kent Smith and Drew Cochrum--HoneyRock Winterim Interns

Whether we are eating in the dining hall, playing broomball out on
the ice courts, or walking through the halls of Loberg Lodge, we often
get blank stares.  The unspoken question is obvious... Who are these two guys? 
We aren't the right age or gender to fit in with any group here at
HoneyRock right now. So what is our story? Our names are Drew Cochrum
and Kent Smith.  We are seniors at Wheaton Academy and are planning to
attend Wheaton College next year.  We are here at HoneyRock for ten days
as interns. This being our ninth day, we can both confidently say that
this has been a great experience.

We came into the week thinking that we would be learning about
camp maintenance.  Our sights were set too low.  We did learn a lot about
maintenance.  We built canoes and log cabins under the expert guidance
of Scott and Bill.  However, we also learned a lot from the GPAs here at
camp, especially Steve and Luis.  Steve showed us how to be blunt and
yet godly at the same time.  Luis taught us about the serious side of
life.  All of the counselors showed wisdom during the good times, the
bad times, and even during the ugly times.  We come away from our
internship with a greater
understanding of construction, camp life, and caring for one another as
a God-centered community.  So that's who we are.  Thank you, Honeyrock
Staff for providing an amazing ten days!
