Service Team: Work & Play

After a fun afternoon running Olympic Fest, Service Teamers got back to work today as they unloaded hay, constructed a roof, helped at a local farm, split wood...among other jobs. They're ready for a break!

Most nights Activity Staff opens up activity areas for Service Teamers to work on awards or just hang out and have fun. Tonight, sailing and swimming are two of the activities open. A couple of the guys didn't hesitate to take advantage of the very windy day we've had and are out sailing now. Others are cooling off in the swim area, playing on the water trampoline or hanging out on the water mat.

We can't say it enough: we are so proud of these kids and thankful for their service. They have devoted seven weeks of their summer to serve camp and one another. Moreover, they help not only camp, but also the surrounding Three Lakes/Eagle River area through projects. We have been able to capture a few of their on-camp projects through photos. See them here!  

Meet Isaiah: Sailing Instructor

Meet Isaiah, our Sailing Instructor! In the States, Isaiah calls Lancaster, PA home, but has lived in Dakar, Senegal for most of his life. He's pumped to be up at camp this summer for his third HoneyRock experience. After Isaiah participated in Passage, he knew that he wanted to spend more time in this place. 

We asked Isaiah about his favorite part of working at HoneyRock, and he told us that apart from the community, he loves watching the mist over the quiet water in the early mornings before 5am.

Isaiah is at HoneyRock this summer after feeling a strong draw back to the place where he grew in Passage and counseled Advance Camp men. He says, "I know that this fits with the person God made me to be and my desire to bring people together in community...it all comes together to work well in this environment. I'm here to love and serve, all to the glory of God."
