Pioneer Trek T-Shirts for LDS Stakes | Custom Group Shirts

There are some things you remember long after Trek is over.

The dust.

The handcart.

The mountains.

The late-night conversations.

The moment everyone was exhausted but somehow kept going.

And, if we're doing it right, the shirt.

At WEAK THINGS, we make custom group t-shirts for Latter-day Saint stakes, wards, youth conferences, Young Women's camps, Young Men's camps, and Pioneer Treks. But we don't think a Trek shirt should feel like something you wear once, get dirty, and throw in the back of a drawer.

We believe the shirt should become part of the memory.

Pioneer Trek Is About More Than Walking

A Pioneer Trek is obviously a physical experience. Youth pull handcarts. They walk long distances. They camp. They work together. They get tired.

But the purpose goes much deeper.

The Church describes Pioneer Trek as an opportunity for youth to experience the faith and determination of the pioneers while strengthening unity, learning gospel principles, and developing appreciation for pioneer sacrifices.

That's what makes Trek so meaningful.

Young people are given opportunities to do hard things together.

They learn that discomfort doesn't automatically mean they should quit. They learn to serve someone who is struggling. They learn that sometimes you pull the handcart, and sometimes someone else pulls it for you.

And those are lessons that matter long after the handcart is returned.

Trek can teach resilience

One of the most valuable parts of Trek is the opportunity to practice emotional and spiritual resilience in a setting intentionally designed around faith, service, sacrifice, and perseverance.

The Church's Trek resources specifically emphasize helping youth learn to persevere, turn to God during challenges, and recognize that they can receive help carrying their burdens.

That's an important lesson for teenagers.

Life isn't going to get easier simply because Trek is over.

They'll face difficult classes, broken friendships, disappointment, failure, uncertainty, financial challenges, missionary experiences, college decisions, careers, marriage, parenting, and countless other moments when the path doesn't look easy.

Trek doesn't magically prepare someone for all of those things.

But it can give a young person a memory:

"I've done hard things before."

"I don't have to do them alone."

"I can keep moving forward."

And sometimes that's exactly what a teenager needs to remember.

Your Trek Shirt Should Be as Unique as Your Trek

Every stake has a different theme.

Different scripture.

Different colors.

Different traditions.

Different youth.

Different sense of humor.

That's why we don't believe in forcing every Pioneer Trek into the same template.

At WEAK THINGS, you can bring us a finished design, give us a rough idea, or simply tell us your Trek theme and let us start from scratch. We provide the design proof, and you can request unlimited design changes at no additional design or setup fee.

Maybe you have:

• A Trek theme and scripture
• A logo from your stake
• A rough sketch someone made on a piece of paper
• A favorite pioneer quote
• A funny inside joke
• A specific color palette
• A design your youth created
• Absolutely no idea what you want yet

That's okay.

Give us the idea.

We'll help turn it into something your youth will actually want to wear.

We Understand What Stakes Actually Need

Ordering 100+ shirts for a stake isn't the same as ordering three shirts for your family.

You've got youth sizes.

Adult sizes.

Leaders.

Ma's and Pa's.

Maybe medical personnel need a different color.

Maybe every ward needs to be separated.

Maybe the stake needs a formal quote for approval.

Maybe the clerk needs an invoice.

Maybe you have parents who didn't submit a size until three days before Trek.

We've been building our group-order process around those realities.

For Pioneer Trek orders, WEAK THINGS offers:

Free design proof

We'll create a real mockup that you can take to your Trek committee, youth leaders, or stake leadership for review. Our group-order page says proofs are typically returned within 24 hours.

Unlimited design revisions

Change the colors. Change the scripture. Change the layout. Change the wording.

We don't charge an art fee every time you decide the mountain needs to move three pixels to the left.

Youth and adult sizing

Youth sizes and adult sizes can be included in the same order, making it easier to outfit the entire Trek group.

Leader and medical colors

Want youth in one color and leaders in another?

Need a different color for your medical crew?

We can build that into the order.

Split shipping

If your stake has multiple wards, we can separate and label shipments so your order doesn't become a giant box of shirts that someone has to sort through the night before Trek.

Size collection help

We provide a size-collection sheet, and we can also create a private group store where individuals select their own sizes and pay for their own shirts.

Reorder capability

Forgot someone?

Added another leader?

Grandma wants one?

Someone lost theirs?

Your group design stays on file, and group orders can have a private reorder link so people can purchase additional shirts without recreating the entire order.

And Yes—Let's Talk About Price

We know Trek budgets matter.

A stake may be purchasing shirts for dozens—or hundreds—of people. Every dollar matters.

Our group pricing is designed specifically for larger orders, with pricing that decreases as quantities increase. Current screen-print group pricing ranges from $22 per shirt for smaller 12–24 shirt orders to $11 per shirt for 250+ shirts for a one-color front, before applicable size and customization additions.

But here's something we want Trek committees to know:

If you're comparing prices, compare us.

Send us the details of what you're looking at.

We'll provide a written quote so you can compare apples to apples—and we'll work to match or beat comparable pricing when we can.

Because we don't think ordering Pioneer Trek shirts should require sacrificing your budget just to get something that looks good.

Great Trek Shirts Don't Have to Look Like Trek Shirts

Here's one of our favorite things about designing shirts for youth:

They don't have to look cheesy.

Your Trek shirt can feel like an actual clothing brand.

It can be vintage.

Minimalist.

Funny.

Bold.

Scripture-centered.

Mountain-inspired.

Retro.

Hand-drawn.

Or completely unexpected.

That's part of the WEAK THINGS philosophy.

Faith doesn't have to be boring.

Church shirts don't have to look like they came from a catalog.

And a shirt celebrating something meaningful can still be something a teenager is excited to put on.

Our original designs range from hand-drawn scripture concepts and vintage badges to illustrated graphics, bold slogans, collegiate lettering, and completely custom artwork.

Because Weak Things Become Strong

There's a reason WEAK THINGS exists.

Weak Things Become Strong.

That's the promise behind Ether 12:27—and it's a message that fits Pioneer Trek remarkably well.

A Trek starts with young people who may not know exactly what they're capable of.

Then the trail gets difficult.

Someone's tired.

Someone's discouraged.

Someone's handcart is stuck.

Someone needs help.

And suddenly, the person who thought they couldn't make it is helping someone else make it up the hill.

That's powerful.

Not because the youth are pretending to be pioneers.

But because they're discovering something about themselves.

They can become stronger.

Stronger in faith.

Stronger in service.

Stronger in friendships.

Stronger in resilience.

Stronger in their willingness to keep moving when the road gets difficult.

And maybe years later, when that same young person pulls an old Trek shirt out of a drawer, they'll remember more than a youth conference.

They'll remember the people who walked beside them.

Planning a Pioneer Trek?

If your stake is planning a 2027 Pioneer Trek, 2028 Pioneer Trek, or future youth conference, don't wait until the last minute to think about shirts.

Pioneer Trek is one of our busiest group-order seasons, and ordering earlier gives you more time for design, approval, sizing, production, and delivery. WEAK THINGS recommends planning ahead for Trek orders, with May 10 listed as the standard order target on our group-order page.

Start with the idea.

We'll help with the rest.

Tell us your Trek theme.

Tell us how many youth you have.

Tell us when you need the shirts.

And we'll send you a quote and design proof.

No obligation.

No art fee.

No setup fee.

Just a really good Trek shirt.
