2026 Stake Young Men's Camp

PLANNING: We are in the early stages of planning a high adventure 500 miles away to the Mammoth Caves National Park in Kentucky.  We anticipate leaving early Monday morning on June 22nd and driving 7 hours to Mammoth and setting up camp.  From there we are planning on going on daily adventures.  One day of caving, another day of high ropes climbing, and then a day of whitewater rafting.  During the week we anticipate having one day of recovery and relaxation.  Then we drive home Saturday morning June 27th.  

GROWTH: In addition to those high adventure activities which will challenge them physically, the young men will have opportunities for social, spiritual and intellectual growth through leadership opportunities, taking turns cooking and cleaning, fireside discussions and devotions, and group games.  We are excited and hope this will be a wonderful start to their summertime having just got out of school. 

COST: Unlike previous years, this event cannot be 100% covered by the stake.  There will be some form of cost sharing where the stake and units will cover a significant portion of the cost but it is expected that there will be a cost that families of the young man will be responsible for.  That amount will be made available to the stake units once the venue and events are finalized.  The individual units will then take into consideration what portion they can cover and then will communicate to their respective families what their unit's individual YM cost will be.  

PRE-REGISTERATION:  While we understand that our young men come from various financial means we wish all young men to pre-register WITHOUT consideration of cost as we desire for all young men who want to go to be able to attend.  Due to the complexity of this trip it is crucial that all youth who are interested in going, REGARDLESS OF COST, pre-register using the form below so that we can get a good estimate of how many individuals we need to be able to accommodate and make the appropriate reservations.  At some point there will be hard cut off dates and body count limits in which it will be difficult to accommodate additional late comer registrations.  So please pre-registration ASAP.
