Youth Conference

 Max and Ben went down to Southern Utah for three days and two nights for Youth Conference last week.

Here's what Ben told me:

On the first day we did a huge obstacle course and it was super hot. 

We each had to drink like 7 water bottles. We climbed over 10-20 foot walls and army crawled under rope nets and through tunnels and carry a big log. 

Then we jumped into a lake with a rope swing.

The second day we did a hike called Water Canyon. Four miles and with some spots to splash.

On Monday and Tuesday the leaders had devotionals and the youth shared thoughts. We also played yard games outside.

The third day, Wednesday,  we did Cable Mountain, which has a great view at Zion National Park and is not nearly as crowded.

Here are some pictures the leaders posted

The temperature was triple digits the entire time, but their leaders made sure they had lots of water and shade and activities that started earlier in the day.

I heard great reports of our boys getting along most of the time, except for when they had to coordinate carrying a big log together on the obstacle course. It reminds me of when they were trying out a tandem bike last year in our ride at the Hiawatha.
