Church events and activities can be fun, uplifting, and spiritually strengthening for everyone who attends. To reach these aims, all participants are invited to commit to follow the principles taught in For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices. When you do, the experience will be better for everyone.
Please note that Church activities are not the time or place for romantic behavior or for conversations and actions that distract from the purpose of the event or activity.
If you participate in any of the following prohibited activities, leaders at the event or activity will speak with you, your parents, and your bishop, branch president, or stake president. These leaders may decide to send you home immediately.
Participating in or encouraging immoral behavior of any kind, which includes breaking the law of chastity or viewing or distributing pornography in any form.
Shoplifting, theft, or vandalism of any kind.
Breaking the Word of Wisdom, including vaping or possessing illegal or harmful substances.
Possessing weapons or dangerous items of any kind. (If specifically authorized, certain items may be provided and used in supervised activities.)
Harming or threatening to harm yourself or others physically, spiritually, or emotionally, including bullying in any form or disrupting another’s experience.
Leaving without following proper procedures, skipping scheduled activities without permission, or breaking curfew.
Our youth conference will be taking place on a working berry farm that also raises bison. Being there is a privilege and we have an obligation to not damage, destroy, or otherwise cause issues.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are youth permitted to approach the bison pens where the bison are being held, or try to touch the bison. You will immediately be sent home.
Be respectful of other farm animals. Do not chase, harass, or harm any of the other animals on the farm you may encounter.
Do not enter the pond
Do not climb on the rock in the pond
Do not pick blackberries. This farm supports multiple families and taking berries is theft.
