WHAT SHOULD I BRING/PACK?
A packing list may be downloaded HERE. Please do not bring unnecessary items.
WILL THE QUEST BE HARD LIKE THE PIONEER TREK?
While we love the Pioneer Trek and the experiences and lessons the trek teaches us, the Book of Mormon Quest is a very different experience. The Quest is much less about the physical journey and more about the personal and spiritual one as we bring the Book of Mormon to life. These three days are packed with so many awesome experiences including village activities, games, devotionals, music, battle tactics, firesides, reenactments, reflection opportunites, social time with friends and leaders, great food, and so much more. You don’t want to miss it!
will there be a wrap up fireside at the conclusion of the quest?
Yes, on Sunday evening, June 8th we plan to have a concluding fireside at the Lehi Stake Center at 7:00pm. All Quest attendees and their parents will be invited to come and a highlight video will be shared.
WHAT IF I HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS AND REQUIRE ASSISTANCE?
We very much hope that all the youth 14 and up (must be 14 by 12/31/2025 to attend) in our stake will be able to participate in the Quest as much as possible. Should you or your youth have a special need that you are concerned about, please reach out to either Ruth Collins or Allison Stuart to discuss the situation so we can try and accommodate. Please also be sure to note that on your registration form.
