Spouse and Children/Teen Activities
The spouse and children/teen activities are tentatively scheduled for June 10th. Please note that we may need to cancel the activities if not enough people sign up. If we need to cancel we will refund you the complete cost of the activity.
Spouse: Travel back in time as we discover the unique history that laid the foundation for Utah. Visit the This is The Place State Park where the Mormon Pioneers first arrived in the Salt Lake Valley; tour the Lion House; look up your ancestors at the Family Research Center. Utah is well known for its crafts and handmade items so we’ll bring you to the Quilted Bear where you can find that item for your home or a friend. Lunch will be provided. Cost will be $30 per person. Check the appropriate box on the registration form.
Children/Teens: Enjoy a day full of fun and excitement as you spend the day at Seven Peaks Water Park. Visit the lazy river or the wave pool. If you need more of a thrill, then Laser’s Edge or the Sky Breaker will be a true adventure for you. Come and join us for a day in the sun. Lunch will be provided. The cost will be $28 per person. Check the appropriate box on the registration form.
Opening Reception
The opening reception will be Wednesday, June 9 from 6-8 pm in the Monte L. Bean Museum located on the Brigham Young University campus. Please indicate if you will be attending the reception so we can adjust the food count appropriately.

LOCATION
The conference will be held at the Brigham Young University Conference Center in Provo, Utah. Provo is located 45 miles south of Salt Lake City. Driving time is approximately one hour from the Salt Lake City International Airport on the I-15 route.
BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY
With more than 29,000 students, BYU is the largest private university in the United States. BYU is located in Provo, Utah, nestled at the base of the Wasatch Range in the Rocky Mountains. Based on the east by snowcapped Mount Timpanogos and on the west by 130-square-mile Utah Lake, the area is a favorite for outdoor recreation. Hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, golfing, and water sports of all kinds are favorite pastimes in this temperate summer clime, while hunting, snowmobiling, ice skating, and downhill and cross-country skiing satisfy the adventurous during the colder months of the year. Provo’s central location puts it within a half-day’s drive of 15 national parks, monuments, and recreation areas—the largest concentration of such attractions in any state south of Alaska.
AIRPORT-TO-HOTEL TRANSPORTATION
Affordable transportation to and from the airport is available through XPRESS Shuttle. The telephone number is 1-800-397-0773.
Car rental is available at the Salt Lake City International Airport or at the Provo Marriott Hotel.
