Schedule For The Week

The Highland Stake Youth Conference is here!  We want to invite you all (youth and advisors) to join us at the stake center Thursday evening for our kickoff fireside, which starts at 7:00 pm.  Please come a little early, because we have an awesome speaker, Brother Todd Hansen from the 13th ward, who produces the TV show BYU Story Trek.  You will love his video presentation!  After Brother Hansen, we will be checking each of you in (handing out t-shirts and passports) and then play some games and have dessert.  The dress for this night is modest casual, similar to what you would wear to mutual, because we are meeting in the chapel.  And adults, we need your help with activities, serving meals and as drivers on Saturday, so please sign up!  More details will be given on Thursday evening.

Here is the agenda for the weekend.  Please note the dress codes for each day and also please bring a refillable water bottle on Friday and Saturday.
