Dear Deseret Mill Parents of Youth,
We cordially invite all youth in our stake to attend our Trek July 16-19, 2025, near Evanston, Wyoming.
You may be familiar with treks of long ago, or even from your youth, but this will be very different! This isn't your parents' Trek! Here are some details:
Youth will be eating like kings and queens along our 4 day stake trek journey: 3 elaborate, delectable and abundant meals will be served a day, with ample, varied snacks and treats in between, and a never ending water and drink supply. Water will also be sprayed and endlessly available for anyone needing a cool down.
Our theme is “Come and See”. We invite our youth to come and see what a life looks like with Christ as our partner, friend and guide. This trek represents our personal trek or adventure through life.
Please leave your cell phones and electronics home during Trek.
Leaders and youth are encouraged to wear pioneer-style clothing. Doing so fosters a sense of unity among the youth and helps remove social barriers that may exist.
April 24th is the pre-Trek activity at the stake center outdoor area, with an out of this world dinner, devotional, and more excitement than you’ll expect! (See flyer above!)
We invite all youth to find an ancestor, leader, family member, friend, or stranger who is a pioneer or hero to you in a personal way. We hope you will think of and hold the name and memory of that special person in your minds and hearts before, during and after Trek.
If you skip Trek, it'll just be another week in your life. But if you go on Trek, we promise it'll be a week you *never* forget.
With love,
The Stake Trek Communication Committee
