Application Process:
1) We begin accepting applications after January 1 for the following November program start. We accept applications from January 1 to September 30.
2) We use a rolling admission process. It usually takes 3-4 weeks to review your application and references, complete interviews, and gain admittance into the Wheaton College Graduate School as a Special Student.
Step 1: Complete the employment application and essay questions, and all 3 references. They are available at the link below.
Step 2: Once we have received all your application paperwork, we will notify you by email.
Step 3: Once we have reviewed your application paperwork, we will call or email you to set up an interview. Typically you will interview with 2 different HoneyRock staff members.
Step 4: You will be notified of your provisional acceptance into the program.
Step 5: Once you are provisionally accepted by HoneyRock (pending acceptance as a special student by the Wheaton College Graduate School), you must submit a Graduate School Special Student Application to the Graduate Admissions Office in order to be accepted as a non-degree student and register for CFM 662 Theology and Practice of Outdoor Ministry. Students will take this class for credit as a Fall term course. Full acceptance into the GA program is dependent on acceptance into the Wheaton College Graduate School as a special student. Once you have been accepted as a Special Student you will be notified and officially hired as a GA. Wheaton College does not accept special student applications after October 1.
