Bring the whole trek family for a Saturday evening of games, races, and goofy good times at the park. Think tug-of-war, relay races, capture the flag, water balloons, and plenty of laughter as the sun starts to dip. A perfect chance to burn off energy with your trek family, find out who your fastest Pa really is, and build the friendships that'll carry us across Wyoming next month.
Get Ready for Trek
Upcoming Activities
The trek begins long before we reach Wyoming. Join us for these activities as we prepare our hearts, strengthen our families, and build unity together.
Now — July
Ongoing
Trek Family Gatherings
Between now and July, each trek family is invited to gather together on their own. Share a meal, walk a trail, sing a hymn, practice loading buckets, or sit on a porch and get to know one another. These small, simple moments are where trust takes root and friendships grow strong — long before the first handcart wheel turns in Wyoming.
Mas, Pas, Aunts, and Uncles — reach out to your youth and pick a time that works for your family. There is no required format and no checklist; the time together is the point.
A Few Ideas
- · A family dinner or potluck
- · A short hike to break in boots
- · Read pioneer journals together
- · Pack and weigh your trek bucket
- · Sing favorite hymns around a fire
- · Share testimonies of ancestors

Movie Night & Bucket Distribution
Gather together for a movie night featuring 17 Miracles — the true story of the Willie and Martin handcart companies and the tender mercies that carried them through. A powerful way to connect our hearts to the pioneers whose footsteps we'll follow this summer. Buckets will also be handed out — pick up the five-gallon bucket that will carry everything you need on the trail. Bring the whole family.

Saturday Hike
Lace up your shoes and join us for a pre-trek hike! The youth chose an evening start so we can enjoy cooler temperatures and watch the sun settle over the hills. A great chance to break in your boots, build stamina, and spend time with your trek family before July.

Dinner & Square Dance
Kick off trek season with your trek families! Enjoy dinner together followed by a lively square dance. Come ready to laugh, learn some new moves, and get to know the people you'll be walking with this summer.
