An easy, fun, Northwoods winter retreat for your whole family.
You gather the group. We cook and clean. Everyone has fun!
Make a trip up north this winter with your family and friends for an all-inclusive retreat at HoneyRock! If you gather the people, we'll do everything else. You'll have time to enjoy HoneyRock's winter activities, share family-style meals, and spend quality time with those you love most. We've put together a relaxed schedule that the whole family will love - including childcare to make space for a date night for mom and dad!

Additional Information
Whether you're a long-time HoneyRocker or brand new to the family, this retreat is for you! We think the ideal group is 3-4 families who share a church, school, or neighborhood back at home. You'll have time to enjoy activities, meals, and free time as both a big group and your individual family units.

We ask you do not bring personal sleds (we provide!) and the typical "do not bring" things including alcohol, tobacco products, fireworks, video games, DVDs, etc...
