Preparing for Trek
The pioneers planned and prepared extensively before they began their journey. Similarly, all stake trek participants should take time to prepare physically and spiritually before trek to increase their stamina, and make the trek experience more meaningful.
Physically Preparation
- WALK AND HIKE
- We suggest that you begin walking a number of times a week, a least 1-2 miles each time. As your cardiovascular endurance increases, increase your time and distance. Over the next several months work towards walking 3-5 miles at one time. Plan walks and hikes with your family, friends and ward youth groups.
- FIND PIONEER CLOTHES
Spiritual Preparation
- PONDER
- Contemplate the trek theme. Take time to reflect on the theme and answer the theme related questions.
- LEARN
- Learn more about the Pioneers and their sacrifices.
- PRAY
- Pray daily and ask to have the Spirit with you as you prepare for trek. Pray that your testimony can be strengthened and your relationship with Jesus Christ can be deepened as you participate in trek.
- STUDY
- Study and read the scriptures daily.
