The outdoor side of ZLAP runs on a calendar. Each month has a focus, and the activities count toward the requirements in the workbook.
Eight camps, each one building on the last, from first-night basics in March to the wilderness challenge in October.
Gear, campsite setup, fire safety and the first night out of the season.
Maps, compass work and finding your way on the trail.
Dutch oven, foil dinners and camp stove meals, cooked by the youth.
Packing light, carrying your own load and camping away from the trailhead.
The big trip of the year.
Trail work and stewardship projects, with camp built around the service.
Treating injuries in the field and knowing what to do when plans go wrong.
A harder outing that puts navigation, cooking, first aid and leadership to work together.
Young women follow a twelve-month plan. Each month ties to a pillar and has its own theme.
Testimony, goal setting, scripture study and temple worship.
Spiritual DevelopmentLife skills, financial literacy, cooking and preparedness.
Self-RelianceMissions, education, careers and marriage.
Future PreparationWeekly activities follow the same pattern, so youth learn the skill, use it, serve with it and then look back on it.
Youth, parents and leaders sign in to the ZLAP app to see progress and record what has been finished.
