Aspen Grove Family Camp

Aspen Grove is a camp located near Sundance in Utah, and is run by the BYU Alumni Association. We have been going there for the past two years and are planning on going this August 2008. Check out their website if you can make it August 27-30, 2008! http://aspen.byu.edu/

Don't miss this opportunity to camp with some of the nuttiest kids to set foot in Provo Canyon!

There is a slide show that the camp puts out every year that shows all of the families there that particular week. Look for our family at the Aspen Grove 2006 slide show here:

Additional pictures from that year's camp are here:

Keep in mind that the slide show has everyone that camped that particular week, so you have to keep your eyes peeled!


The above pictures are Aspen Grove 2006, when we met Betsy and Rita's brothers and sister and their families, and the pictures below are from 2007 when we went with Betsy.

Kathryn getting wet in the barrel relay race. We had to fill the barrel up as fast as possible, while plugging all the holes! That water was COLD and Katy did this two years in a row!

Dad teaching Ryan the fine art of burying a tomahawk in a target's back, just in case he needs to know someday. ;-)

Adam and Johnny with the monkey backpacks that made them famous around camp!Alex and Ryan hustle water over to the barrel relay while Steven supervises.

*sigh* Aspen Grove! We really REALLY want to go this year, but since Jay will be a rookie, it's nto going to happen. (Despite what Jay thinks!) I'm hoping we can join you there in 2009.
