What To Expect If You Attend Live
Going to an event that you have never been can cause anxiety. I know, I use to have severe travel anxiety. Here is what you can expect.
Accommodations
You’ll be staying, learning, and dining at the Aspen Grove Family Camp and Conference Center, located just above Sundance, Utah. If you’re in a double occupancy room, you’ll enjoy a two-bedroom suite with a shared bathroom and sitting area. Right outside your door, there’s a spacious lobby for socializing with other breeders, along with a shared kitchen. If you opted for a private room, you’ll have the added comfort of a private bathroom.
Dining
Meals will be designed by an onsite chef, and served buffet style. Your meals and refreshments will be prepared with fresh ingredients. If you have a food sensitivity, please let us know so we can prepare accordingly. The dining room has a beautiful view.
Conference Room
Training will take place in a contemporary lodge with large training rooms and a front row seat to the nature.
Free Time
Check-in is available on Thursday afternoon, giving you the chance to explore the property or simply relax before training begins. Whether you’d like to unwind or take advantage of the nearby hiking trails, including First Falls and Stewart Falls, the choice is yours. On Friday and Saturday, we’ll dive into team-building activities, including high ropes challenges. There will also be time to relax, connect, and collaborate with other breeders throughout the retreat.
