Prepare Now for the Trek

In one year you will have one of the GREATEST weeks of your life. At Martin's Cove, Sixth Crossing, Rocky Ridge, and Rock Creek Hollow, you will experience firsthand what it was like to be a member of the Martin or Willie handcart companies. You will have the opportunity to get to know our Savior, Jesus Christ, in a way you never have before.

The trek will be for the youth who are 12 years old by August 5, 2012, up through the youth who graduate from high school in 2012.

Start preparing now to have a wonderful experience:

• Financially--The trek will cost each person $275. Work hard to earn the money yourself. Turn your deposit of $50 into your bishop by October 1st.
  
• Spiritually--The pioneers kept their faces pointed toward Zion. This year, exercise your faith and determination to be temple-worthy as you prepare for the trek.
• Physically--get yourself in shape before the trek. You will be doing a lot of walking.
