The mission of pioneer treks is to provide a secure and safe place for stakes to join together while minimizing negative impact to the resources and enterprises of Deseret Land and Livestock (DLL).
We know that this youth conference can change the lives of everyone involved. We also feel that the goals BYU created for youth attending Pioneer Trek are very important. They include: gaining stronger testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ, learning to appreciate their pioneer heritage, increasing self-worth, learning to appreciate their own families, learning to love their trek "family" and gaining new friends.
Cost and Deposit
There will be a $15.00 fee for each trek participant in order to cover ranch expenses. The fee remains the same whether a trek spans three or four days because the entire week is reserved for for the participating stake. Groups larger than 325 will also need to pay for either the rental of extra portapotties or a pumping during the trek. There is a $500.00 deposit required by Sept. 1 of the year prior to the scheduled trek date in order to secure the reservation. If the deposit is not received by this date, the reservation will be given to a stake on the waiting list. The balance will be paid following the trek.
