AMP Overview

The purpose of the Adventure Ministry Program (AMP) is to provide advanced ministry training and leadership experience to college students. AMP serves two main areas: counseling high school students in 2:22 and leading Wheaton Passage. The primary focus of AMP is discipleship and modeling a heart of service. AMP students will engage today’s youth culture, serve those in need, be equipped with crisis training and plan Bible studies, all under the guidance of HoneyRock staff and Wheaton College professors. All students will have six weeks in which they will receive training in nationally recognized certifications in areas such as backpacking, sea kayaking, canoeing, adventure challenge facilitation, CPR/AED, Wilderness First Aid and water safety. 

2:22 for High School Students

2:22 counselors will disciple high school students while encouraging them to embody a life of service. Staff will use the wilderness, in-camp activities and cross-cultural urban settings to challenge high school students to become more Christlike and compassionate.

Wheaton Passage

The Wheaton Passage program focuses on preparing incoming Wheaton students for college by focusing on areas such as spiritual formation, identity, service, worship, global engagement and community.  

Adventure Ministry Certificate

Students in AMP can take the Adventure Ministry Leadership Certificate. 12 of the 24 required hours for the certificate are offered at HoneyRock and interested students will pay tuition for those 12 hours. This certificate will prepare you for a life of service, ministry and leadership in a variety of settings, particularly adventure ministry.
