One of the unique features of Passage is that first-year students embark on off-site trips leaving from Wheaton College. All first-year students will select a trip choice, all of which happen at locations owned or operated by Wheaton College. Transfer Passage takes place in the local community of Wheaton, Illinois. All students can expect to connect with other new students in an incredible small-group formational experience.

Northwoods and Equestrian Passage take place at the HoneyRock Center for Leadership Development, a campus of Wheaton College. After settling into your cabin, you’ll quickly take in all the Northwoods of Wisconsin has to offer: hiking, canoeing, star-gazing, campfires, trail-rides, and more! The residential experience provides a great opportunity to begin building friendships as you share life through activities, meals, and small group discussions.
