A yearly tradition for friends and alumni of Wheaton College and HoneyRock (ages 55+)!
We look forward to welcoming new and returning Northwoods Adventure participants back to HoneyRock this September! For first-time attendees, there is a 10% discount, and financial assistance is available for returning attendees.
Northwoods Adventure at HoneyRock is a time for you to enjoy the company of fellow Wheaties, HoneyRock alumni (and friends!), and the beautiful colors and weather of a Northwoods fall. While you are here, you can participate in many activities, such as guided nature walks, horseback riding, pontoon rides, swimming, fishing, canoeing, and much, much more!
There will also be special events like a variety show, classes, and events, as well as addresses by guest speakers.
For more information or to request a registration form, please email Rachel Nichwitz at rachel.nichwitz@wheaton.edu or call her at 630-752-6024.
