You Will Need Two Outfits

Dear Trekkers,

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but everyone who is going on trek will need to bring two pioneer outfits. This is because you are likely to get dirty, sweaty and wet from river crossings. Please make sure you have two outfits lined up to bring. See other posts for clothing specifics, or feel free to email me with any questions.

Parental Permission and Medical Release Form for Trek

Here is a link to the official parental permission and medical release form. It's the same one we use for all of our away-from-campus youth activities.

All youth attending trek must have one of these forms completed and signed by their parent/guardian in order to attend trek.

So, here's what you do:

1. Print the PDF form from this church site: Permission and medical release form
2. Fill out the form, visit the doctor if necessary to ensure good health.
3. Get the form signed by a parent or guardian.
4. Return the form to Brother or Sister Dupaix before July 1st.

That's it. Simple, but necessary. Do it now. Don't wait because you can't go unless we have one of these forms for you.

Please note: other medical forms may be required, as deemed necessary by the trek committee.

Free Pioneer Clothing Patterns Online

Hi Trekkers,

I found some great patterns and other helpful information on this website:
http://www.mormontrek.net/Pack/PioneerPack.htm

Clothing does not have to be exactly period appropriate, but we want to have the same look.

Aprons are not required for our young women for trek, but they come in very handy and help to keep skirts clean.

Here's the direct link to the apron pattern
Here's a link to a sunbonnet pattern

If you would like to borrow a pattern for a sunbonnet (more traditional than the pattern above) and skirt, contact Sister Dupaix (krndpx@yahoo.com). There are four of these patterns circulating through the ward.
