HoneyRock, the Outdoor Center for Leadership Development of Wheaton College, exists to build Christ’s church and benefit society worldwide by fostering the development of whole and effective people through transformational outdoor experiences.
Beyond the usual outdoor experience, HoneyRock’s programs seek to develop leadership qualities by providing increasing levels of responsibility, service and challenge for youth and young adults as they move through intentional programming year after year. Our world-class undergraduate and graduate programs offer students the experiential training and academic rigor they need to move into leadership and service roles in business and ministry settings around the globe.
