Dining & Refreshments
Dining
Aspen Grove does all of the cooking and cleaning so you don't have to! Menus will be selected by Aspen Grove's Chef. Our culinary team provides excellent food service for Youth Conferences.
Meals will be served at set times. Please schedule your activities and workshops around these set times. Your punctuality is important, as we are trying to serve many youth.
Please notify our office of any food allergies at least two weeks prior to your youth conference. Our food service staff will do their best to accommodate your needs. Upon your arrival in camp, please encourage the individual(s) with food allergies to introduce themselves to our Chef. The Chef will assist those with dietary needs to ensure a positive experience. Individuals with severe or multiple food allergies may need to bring food to supplement what Aspen Grove provides.
Refreshments
Youth groups are welcome to bring their own snacks. To protect our facilities, we ask that all snacks and drinks be non-messy and unable to stain or crumble into carpet or furniture. Please note that Aspen Grove does not provide refrigerators or freezers for snack storage, and ice cream is not permitted.
Aspen Grove maintains a beverage contract with Coca-Cola, so all drinks brought on site must be Coke products. No drinks that are dyed red are permitted.
Suggested snack options include: Rice Krispie Treats, granola bars, bottled water, Coca-Cola sodas, and candy.
Final Details Form
Two weeks before your youth conference, you will submit a final details form and a copy of your schedule with a final payment. You can use the Final Details form to submit all of this information here. Please be aware final payment will be calculated on the actual headcount or the guaranteed count, whichever is greater. As you prepare your schedule, please note meal times and cross-country ski/snowshoe times (Winter only) are set by Aspen Grove. You will need to plan activities around those set times. We encourage you to plan noisy or interactive activities prior to dinner. You will be assigned a conference room adjacent to other wards/stakes for the duration of your conference. Many wards/stakes will plan quiet devotionals after dinner. If you are planning noisier activities after dinner, please be sensitive to other groups nearby. Please inform our office of any events that may be disruptive to other groups so we can more effectively collaborate ward/stake schedules at (801) 422-6000.
