Winterim

Liz Henderson--Program Team Assistant

We are in the midst of our busiest winter week here at HoneyRock.  From Wheaton College senior capstone classes to Wheaton College HNGR (Human Needs and Global Resources) interns to a senior class trip from a Christian school in Illinois, our housing has been full and our activity areas have been busy.

Additionally, we have 3 groups who arrived today from Wheaton Academy in West Chicago, Illinois.  Wheaton Academy is a Christian high school that offers a J-term called "Winterim."  Students at Wheaton Academy can choose from a variety of courses at school, mission trips overseas, and internships all over the country and around the world.  HoneyRock is hosting a group of 21 Freshman who are here for 8 days taking a class on leadership and enjoying all the winter activities that abound in the Northwoods.  There is also a group of 10 girls who are here and will be going on a winter wilderness trip including spending one night out sleeping in a snow shelter!  Lastly, there are two senior guys who are spending their Winterim doing an internship and working with the Site and Facilities Team.

We are excited to host these groups and have them be a part of our community for the next week and a half.  Please pray for bonding, learning and growth for the students who are here and also pray for safety as they spend many hours outside participating in various HoneyRock activities.
