The purpose of the Valley Forge Stake Youth Conference is to:
1) provide experiences to help our YM/YW build their testimonies and learn more about the gospel;
2) give YW/YM time and opportunities to build relationships with other YW/YM and leaders in our stake in a fun and engaging way. ​
The Valley Forge Stake Youth Conference will be a three-day, coach bus trip to Palmyra, NY. We will be staying in dormitories at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY. We plan on visiting the following Church historical sites during the trip:
-
Sacred Grove
-
Hill Cumorah
-
Smith Home
-
Peter Whitmer Farm
-
Grandin Building
-
Alvin Smith Gravesite
-
Priesthood Restoration Site (Oakland Twp, PA)
While at these sites we will learn about the history and significance of each site. There will be an opportunity for ward youth to gather in the Sacred Grove for an early morning devotional and a group testimony meeting near the end of the trip. There will also be time for the youth to socialize and have fun.
