Preparing for Trek?

If your youth are going on trek this summer, here's a video to help them get ready.

Reviewing the Lessons of the Past, Elder L Tom Perry




What is trek?

Trek is a reenactment of Mormon pioneer handcart journeys that took place in the mid 1800s.  This experience helps youth understand the sacrifice and determination of the early pioneers. Testimonies deepen and unity grows as youth and leaders work together to overcome obstacles and complete their journey.


Here are some resources I found online:

Ensign Magazine on the real trek -  The Pioneer Trek: Nauvoo to Winter Quarters

lds.org safety guidelines

How to prepare for trek pdf

Handcart Trek reservations website

handcart-trek.org website

Ideas and resources for a successful trek

Pioneer trek clothing pdf

there's lots more - just search pioneer trek in google
