PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Encourage your children to attend the trek.
The purpose of the trek is to give youth an opportunity to strengthen their
relationship with Jesus Christ and develop a testimony of His gospel. Our Stake
presidency is hopeful all youth will be able to attend the trek.
2. Register your child for trek. It is
critical your children are registered for trek so they can be assigned to a
family. Registration will take place at the trek fireside. Please attend the
fireside with your child.
3. Help your children spiritually and
physically prepare for trek. Encourage them to exercise regularly as the
trek approaches. Hike, walk or run as a family. Encourage them to read the
scriptures, do genealogy and read pioneer stories found on our Stake trek
website.
4. Help your children get the clothing and
equipment they will need. The equipment list is found on the Stake trek
website.
5. Write a heartfelt letter to each of your
children attending trek. Share testimony and expressions of love with your
child. Please write at least one full page. Put the letter in a sealed envelope with your child’s first and last
name on it and give it to the YM or YW President in your ward no later than May
1, 2017. These letters will be delivered to the youth on the morning of the
last day of trek for them to read during personal study time. Please keep your
letters confidential so their delivery will be a surprise.
