Think of a person that you would like to walk for during this trek. You could research a pioneer ancestor, a departed relative or someone else associated with the pioneers. We will have an item for you that has this name printed on it, so please submit the name by May 31.
Walk with the Lord
The "Walk With Me" theme invites youth to draw closer to the Savior through physicaleffort, reflection, and faith — as the pioneers did before them.
Connect with pioneer heritage
The village experience and trek reveal the faith, ingenuity, hardship, and way of life of those who crossed the plains. Saturday's 5-mile handcart pull brings it to life physically.
Build a Zion community
Two days together — workshops, the dance, a fireside, and the trek itself — are designed to strengthen relationships and create a unified stake youth community.
